Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325ºF and grease an 8" or 9" springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then blend in sour cream, flour, vanilla extract, and salt.
For the crust, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt in another bowl. Press firmly into the prepared pan.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and bake for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes until the center jiggles slightly.
After baking, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour before refrigerating until firm (at least five hours or overnight).
Prepare the pecan topping by melting butter and brown sugar in a skillet over low heat; stir in cinnamon, heavy cream, pecans, and salt until coated.
