How to Make Pecan Cheesecake Pie

Step 1 — Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 2 — Make the Cheesecake Layer

Beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Spread evenly into the bottom of the unbaked crust.

Step 3 — Make the Pecan Layer

In a bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, melted butter, and salt. Stir in the pecans.

Step 4 — Pour and Layer

Gently spoon the pecan mixture over the cheesecake layer. (Pour slowly so it settles evenly.)

Step 5 — Bake

Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is mostly set and the top is caramelized and golden.

Cool completely on a rack, then chill for at least 2 hours for the cleanest slices.
