Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
For the cheesecake layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
For the pecan topping:
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 1/4 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
- Make the cheesecake layer: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg until smooth. Spread evenly over the pie crust.
- Prepare the pecan filling: In another bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter. Stir in pecans.
- Assemble the pie: Gently pour the pecan filling over the cheesecake layer.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is set. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
- Cool completely before serving. Refrigerate for best results.
