Ingredients
1 deep-dish 9-inch pie crust
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the deep-dish pie crust on a rimmed baking sheet.
2. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
3. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, then mix just until combined.
4. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly into the bottom of the pie crust.
5. In another bowl, whisk corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
6. Stir the chopped pecans into the corn syrup mixture.
7. Slowly pour the pecan filling over the cheesecake layer without stirring the layers together.
8. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still has a slight wobble.
9. Cool the pie at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use a deep-dish pie crust so the cheesecake and pecan layers fit without overflowing.
Let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing it with the eggs so the filling stays smooth.
Chill the pie fully before slicing. This helps the cheesecake layer set and gives you clean, beautiful slices.
