How To Make pecan pie cheesecake

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 325º and grease a 9" springform pan with cooking spray.
• 
  Step 2
  Make cheesecake filling: In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and brown sugar.
•

  Add eggs, one at a time.
• 
  Step 4
  Then add sour cream, flour, vanilla, and salt.
