Crumb crust:
Stir together crust ingredients and press onto bottom and 1 inch up side of a buttered 9 1/2 inch springform pan. Fill right away or chill up to 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Make filling and bake cake:
Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, then add vanilla and sugar, beating on low speed until each ingredient is incorporated and scraping down bowl between additions. Put springform pan with crust in a shallow backing pan. Pour filling into crust and bake in baking pan (to catch drips) in middle of oven for 45 minutes, or until cake is set 3 inches from edge but center is still slightly wobbly when pan is gently shaken. Let stand in baking pan on a rack for 5 minutes. Leave oven on.

Make topping:
Stir together sour cream, sugar, and vanilla. Drop spoonfools of topping around edge of cake and spread gently over center, smoothing evenly. Bake cake with topping for 10 minutes. Run a knife around top edge of cake to loosen and cool completely in springform pan on rack. (Cake will continue to set as it cools)

Chill cake, loosely covered, at least 6 hours. Remove side from pan and transfer cake to a plate.
