Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare Crust: Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired.
Make Cheesecake Layer:
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
Spread the mixture over the prepared crust.
Make Pecan Pie Layer:
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Stir in pecan halves.
Assemble Pie: Pour the pecan mixture over the cheesecake layer, spreading the pecans evenly.
Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown. Cover with foil if the crust browns too quickly.
Cool and Serve: Let cool completely before slicing. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
