Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 9-inch 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
For the Cheesecake Layer
  • 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 oz) Make sure it's fully softened for best texture.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg Use room temperature for better blending.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Pecan Topping
  • 1 cup chopped pecans Chopped for ease of slicing.
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup Light or dark, your choice.
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs Use room temperature for better blending.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Pour this layer into the prepared pie crust and smooth it out evenly.
Pecan Layer Preparation
  1. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the chopped pecans. Gently spoon this mixture over the cheesecake layer, trying not to disturb it too much.
Baking
  1. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any overflow. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is golden brown and glossy. The center should jiggle just slightly when you shake the pie.
Cooling
  1. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) for clean slices and better texture.
