How to Make The Best Pineapple Cheesecake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the crust (optional): Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add sugar gradually, beating until combined.
Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in sour cream, vanilla extract, and pineapple chunks.
Pour the filling over the crust (if using) or into an ungreased 9-inch springform pan.
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is just set. The cheesecake will still jiggle slightly.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
