How to Make Pecan Cheesecake Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the pecan topping:
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg until light and golden.
  4. Set aside.
  5. Prepare the cheesecake filling:
  6. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces (two 8-ounce packages) of softened cream cheese until smooth.
  7. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
  8. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  9. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, until just combined.
  10. Pour the cheesecake filling into your prepared pie crust.
  11. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of toasted pecan halves over the cheesecake filling.
  12. Carefully pour the prepared pecan topping over the toasted pecans.
  13. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
