Ingredients

Scale
  • Cooking spray
  • 3 (8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1 c. packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 c. sour cream
  • 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 sleeve graham crackers, finely crushed
  • 5 tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1/4 c. packed brown sugar
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 4 tbsp. butter
  • 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 c. heavy cream
  • 1 3/4 c. whole or chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325ºF and generously grease an 8" or 9" springform pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, incorporating fully. Mix in sour cream, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until well coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan.
  4. Pour the creamy filling over the crust and smooth it out gently. Wrap the bottom of your pan in aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes until only slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Turn off your oven once it's done baking and let your cheesecake cool inside for an hour before refrigerating until firm—at least five hours or overnight.
  6. For topping, melt butter and brown sugar together over low heat until bubbly. Stir in cinnamon, heavy cream, pecans, and salt until everything is perfectly coated.
  7. Carefully release your springform pan from around the cheesecake and spoon over the pecan pie topping right before serving.
