Ingredients

Scale
  • Cooking spray
  • 3 (8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 sleeve graham crackers, finely crushed
  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 3/4 cups whole or chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325ºF (163ºC) and grease an 8" or 9" springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
  3. For the crust, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt in a separate bowl. Press mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust. Optionally, bake in a water bath for extra creaminess. Bake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes or until slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. In a skillet over low heat, melt butter with brown sugar; stir in cinnamon, heavy cream, pecans, and salt until well coated.
  6. Once cooled completely (at least 5 hours), top each slice with pecan mixture before serving.
