- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for swirl)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a water bath.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar in a bowl. Press mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
