Caramel Pecan Cheesecake Pie: A Little Slice of Heaven

 

“When someone asks if you’d like cake or pie, why not say you want cake and pie? – the cheesecake” —Lisa Loeb

For Christmas, my sister-in-law gave me a cookbook devoted solely to pies. Now I love a freshly baked pie as much as the next gal, but I avoid actually making them due to my subpar baking skills.

A chocolate cream pie is about the best I can manage. Thumbing through the beautiful photographs in this book, though, was definitely inspiring. It inspired me to ask my husband to make one.

Luckily, he was up for it and made the most delicious-looking pie in the book. Caramel Pecan Cheesecake Pie. Just typing the name makes my mouth water.

I will say that it was a group effort, since I did the grocery shopping, my hubby and son made the pie, I cleaned up and we all ate it. Give this recipe a try. You will not be disappointed.
