| 1 | Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and chopped pecans together in a bowl until well combined. Press the mixture onto the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. |

| 5 | While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the topping by mixing sour cream and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. |

| 7 | Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. |
