    In a mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese and sugars together, add the spices then the rest of the ingredients. Mix. Pour into the cheesecake pan, wrap the sides and bottom of the cheesecake pan with aluminum foil ( so no water can get to the cheesecake) place cheesecake in a water bath(a larger pan that has water in it, please make sure that the water will not be spilled into the batter) and bake at 325 for 1 hour, shut off oven, and cool in oven for 1 more hour. Chill on counter. Cover and chill.

    Just before serving, take the cheesecake out of the pan and place it on the serving plate. Put the pecans on top of the cheesecake and then pour some caramel sauce over the pecans.
