  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons white sugar, and remaining 3 tablespoons melted butter together in a small bowl until well combined. Press mixture over pineapple slices.
  • Beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup white sugar in a bowl until blended. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until blended. Pour batter into the cake pan.
