Ingredients
  

  • 1 sleeve graham crackers or 1 cup of graham cracker crumb
  • 4 Tbsp melted butter
  • 2 blocks cream cheese (8 oz) packages
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tsp butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions
 

  • Crush graham crackers and mix with melted butter. Spread in a pie pan, pressing to make a firm crust coating the bottom and sides of the pan.
  • Bake graham cracker crust for 10 mins at 325* F. Once out, make sure the crust is still packed tightly. 
  • Mix all of the cheesecake ingredients together (cream cheese, brown sugar, flour, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla) using an electric mixer until evenly blended.
  • Pour mixture into pie pan on top of graham cracker crust. Bake at 325* F for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly. Set aside to cool.
  • Melt brown sugar and butter for topping in a small pan over medium heat until bubbling. Stir the mixture frequently. Pour in heavy cream and pecans, continue to stir for an additional 1-2 minutes. 
  • Remove from heat, let cool for 5 minutes, then spread over cheesecake.
  • Serve warm or cooled.
