Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie with Streusel

Ingredients:
1 -8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 and 1/4 cups canned pumpkin
1 cup half and half
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp salt
3 TBS brown sugar
3 TBS flour
2 TBS butter
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 deep dish pie crust

Directions: Using your pie crust dough, line a 9.5 inch deep dish pie plate. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350º. Beat cream cheese in a medium bowl until it is fluffy. With the mixer on medium speed, beat in the granulated sugar, vanilla and 1 egg. Place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.

In a separate bowl, stir together the pumpkin, half and half, 1/2 cup  brown sugar, 2 eggs, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Spread the cream cheese mixture on the bottom of the pie crust and carefully pour the pumpkin mixture on top.

Bake in the preheated oven, loosely covered with foil, for 30 minutes or until the center is just set. Meanwhile, stir together the 3 TBS of brown sugar and flour. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Stir in pecans. When the pie is just set, gently sprinkle on the pecan streusel and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until slightly brown. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. Chill before serving.
