• Put a large pot of water on to boil. When it reaches a boiling point, pour it into a casserole dish placed on the bottom rack in the oven, filling the casserole dish almost all the way. (This acts as a makeshift water bath and turns the oven into a "steam room," ensuring your cheesecake won't crack.)
• To make the crust, add the graham crackers to a food processor or high-powered blender and pulse until they're processed to resemble a coarse meal.
• Add the butter and brown sugar, and process or mix until combined.
• Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish, and line it with parchment paper so you can easily pull the bars out of the dish when you want to slice and serve.
