In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Incorporate granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until well combined. Add sour cream and vanilla extract, stirring to integrate fully.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the canned pumpkin and pumpkin spice until evenly distributed. Pour this mixture over the prepared crust.

For a finer crust texture, pulse graham crackers in a food processor. To minimize cracking, cool the bars gradually by leaving the oven door ajar after baking. Store leftovers refrigerated up to 5 days.
