1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.

2. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, ⅓ cup sugar, and melted butter in a medium-sized bowl. Press the mixture to form a crust, and bake for 10 minutes.

3. Reduce oven temperature to 300F. Place a large baking dish with hot water on the bottom rack of the oven.

4. Beat the cream cheese and remaining sugar with a mixer until light and creamy. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract and mix, and once incorporated, add eggs one at a time.

5. Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the baked crust, and bake for 70 minutes before turning the oven off. Open the door with a wooden spoon and let cool for 1 hour in the oven.
