Instructions

Graham Cracker Pie Crust

  • Using a food processor place 6 rectangle (¾ cups) Graham crackers and pulse into pieces. Add 3 TBS melted butter and 2 TBS sugar.
  • Press around the bottom and sides.
  • Bake at 325° for 10 minutes.

Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake

  • With a KitchenAid or an electric hand mixer, beat together 1 ½ packages of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup pumpkin, ½ cup maple syrup, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
  • Scrape down the sides to make sure all of the cream cheese is incorporated.
  • Slowly beat in the two eggs one at a time.
  • Pour into a 9 inch baking dish.
  • Bake approximately 45-55 minutes. Pie should have a slight giggle to the middle.
  • Crake the oven door and allow to cool in the oven for an additional 30-40 minutes.
  • Once fully cooled, transfer to refrigerator and chill for at least 3-4 hours and up to 24 hours.

Maple Glaze Pecan Topping

  • In a sauce pan combine ½ cup maple syrup and ½ cup whipping cream. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and allow to thicken for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally. Stir in ¼ cup chopped pecans.
  • Add to pie upon serving and top with whipped cream or cool whip.

Notes

*Note- You can also place the crackers in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
*Note- While the cheesecake is baking it'll puff up. It's important that you allow it to cool in the oven as the change in temperature can cause the pie to sink.
