In fall or any time of year, this nutty, rich and delicious pie is one I am proud to serve. While it seems very special, it's a snap to make.—Becky Ruff, Monona, Iowa

• 6-8 Servings
• Prep: 15 min. Bake: 35 min. + chilling

Ingredients

• 1 sheet refrigerated pie pastry
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon Spice Island® Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1-1/4 cups chopped pecans
• 1 jar (12-1/4 ounces) fat-free caramel ice cream topping

Directions

• Line a 9-in. pie plate with pastry. Trim and flute edges. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, 1 egg and vanilla until smooth. Spread into pastry shell; sprinkle with pecans.
• In a small bowl, whisk remaining eggs; gradually whisk in caramel topping until blended. Pour slowly over pecans.
• Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned (loosely cover edges with foil after 20 minutes if pie browns too quickly). Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight before slicing. Yield: 6-8 servings.
