Number Of Ingredients 9

9 whole graham crackers, finely crushed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup margarine or butter, melted
1 cup pecan halves, divided
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix graham crumbs, granulated sugar and margarine; press firmly onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate; set aside. Spread 1/2 cup of the pecans into shallow baking pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly. Finely chop pecans; sprinkle evenly onto bottom of crust. Set aside.

  • Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on wire rack. Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Drizzle with caramel topping just before serving. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.
