Pecan Cheesecake Pie

I was making this pie today and decided to share the recipe since it is just so yummy! Enjoy!

To Begin, you will need 1/2 a package of premade pie crust (I use Pillsbury. You can make your own crust if you prefer, but the packaged ones taste just as good and make this so much easier.) 1 8oz package of softened cream cheese, 4 large eggs, 3/4 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 1/4 cup chopped pecans and 1 cup of light corn syrup.



Set your oven to preheat to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.



Add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.






Put pie crust into a 9 inch pie place and pour in cream cheese mixture.



Chop pecans and sprinkle evenly over the cream cheese mixture.


In a bowl, combine remaining 3 eggs, corn syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.


Add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and pour mixture over pecans.


Cover edges of pie crust with tinfoil. Bake for 50-55 minutes on the lowest rack.

Let pie cool completely, about an hour. Chill before serving, usually 3-4 hours. Will keep covered in fridge up to 4 days.
Enjoy!
