Caramel-Topped Pecan Cheese Pie

Ingredients

  • Graham Cracker Pie Crust
  • 1 cup pecan halves divided (optional--I don't put on the pecans usually. If I do, it is just a few as a garnish.)
  • 2 packages 8 ounces each cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping I use Aldis!

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well-blended.
  3. Add eggs; mix just until blended. Pour over crust.
  4. Arrange pecans around edge of pie. (optional)
  5. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until center is almost set.
  6. Cool on wire rack. Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Drizzle with caramel topping just before serving.
