Pumpkin Cheesecake -Amy

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 Tbsp. butter
1 cup + 1 Tbsp. sugar
3 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup canned pumpkin
3 eggs
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. allspice

Make crust by combining graham cracker crumbs with butter and 1 Tbsp. sugar. Stir well enough to coat crumbs; press into bottom and halfway up sides of an 8 inch spring form pan (you can use two 9 inch pie plates instead). Bake crust for 5 minutes at 350°. In a large mixing bowl combine cream cheese, remaining sugar, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Add pumpkin, eggs, and spices. Continue to beat until smooth and creamy. Pour filling over crust. Bake for 60-70 minutes, cool to room temperature, then put into fridge.
