    03 Method
    • Step 1
      Preheat oven to 325℉ with a rack in the middle position. Grease an 8” springform pan with cooking spray.
    • Step 2
      Make crust: In a large bowl, add cookie and graham cracker crumbs. Stir in butter, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt and mix until well combined. Press crust into bottom of pan.
    • Step 3
      Meanwhile, make cheesecake batter: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in pumpkin puree, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Add eggs, 1 at a time, until well combined, then beat in flour, pumpkin spice, and ¼ tsp. salt. Pour cheesecake mixture over crust.
    • Step 4
      Double-wrap outside of pan in aluminum foil, making sure to cover the bottom. Place pan in a large baking dish, place the baking dish in the oven, and pour in enough boiling water to reach halfway up the pan. Bake until only slightly jiggly in center, 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes.
    • Step 5
      With oven door propped open, turn the oven off and let cool 1 hour in the oven. Remove from the water bath and discard foil, then refrigerate cheesecake until cooled completely, at least 3 hours or overnight.
    • Step 6
      Garnish with a layer of caramel and a few dollops of whipped cream around the edge of the cheesecake. Sprinkle all over with pecans and more pumpkin pie spice.
