Pecan Cream Cheese Delights

• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Prepare Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust.
3. Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and beat until well incorporated. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the graham cracker crust.
4. Prepare Pecan Topping: In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and melted butter. Mix until the pecans are coated evenly with the sugar mixture. Sprinkle the pecan topping over the cream cheese filling.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
6. Cool and Chill: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the pecan cream cheese delights cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the dish to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
7. Slice and Serve: Once chilled, use a sharp knife to slice the pecan cream cheese delights into squares or bars. Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy filling and crunchy pecan topping!
