  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  • 2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.

  • 6. Cool slightly, then pour the pecan mixture over the cheesecake.
  • 7. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toast your pecans before adding them to the topping.
  • To prevent cracks, bake the cheesecake in a water bath.
  • Best served chilled with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
