  2. In a large bowl, cream together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer on medium speed.

  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted halfway between the center and edge comes out clean.
  7. Let cool slightly on a wire rack.
  8. While the pie cools, in a small bowl, whisk together 8 ounces sour cream and 2 tablespoons sugar until smooth.
  9. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the warm pie.
  10. Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the topping is set.
  11. Let cool completely on a wire rack before chilling.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
