Ingredients:

• 1 package of cream cheese (softened)
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (divided)
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups light corn syrup
• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
   Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your pie will bake evenly and achieve a perfectly golden crust.

2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
   In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup of the sugar, salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended. This creamy filling will serve as a luscious base for your pie.

3. Assemble the Pie Crust:
   Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the unbaked pie crust, smoothing it out to cover the bottom. This will create a creamy layer that complements the pecans beautifully.

4. Add the Pecans:
   Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the cream cheese layer. The nuts will add a delightful crunch and enhance the pie’s flavor.

5. Prepare the Pecan Filling:
   In a separate bowl, beat together 2 large eggs, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, the light corn syrup, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined. This step creates the classic pecan pie filling that will pour over the cream cheese and pecans.

6. Combine and Bake:
   Gently pour the pecan mixture over the cream cheese and pecans in the pie crust. To catch any spills, place the pie on a cookie sheet. Bake the pie on the lower rack of the oven to ensure even cooking and to avoid over-browning.

7. Bake to Perfection:
   Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and firm. The pie should have a golden-brown crust and a slightly jiggly center when done. If the crust or top starts to brown too quickly, you can cover it with aluminum foil.

8. Cool and Serve:
   Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This will help the filling set and make it easier to cut neat slices.

Enjoy this Cream Cheese Pecan Pie as a standout dessert at any gathering, or simply as a treat for yourself. Its rich, creamy texture combined with the crunch of pecans makes it a dessert to remember!
