INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin butter
  • 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine pecans and 1/4 cup brown sugar; cut in butter or margarine with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
  2. Beat cream cheese at high speed of an electric mixer until smooth. Add 1/3 cup brown sugar; beat well. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in pumpkin butter. Pour mixture into crust.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes.
