Pecan Pie/Cheesecake all in one by Debra Diller

I tried this recipe for the first time and thought it truly was awesome. A creamy pecan pie basically!

• 1 Parbaked brise full sheet pan
  
• 1 Softened Cream Cheese
  
• 3 lg Eggs
  
• 8 oz Sugar and scant vanilla
  
• pecan pieces
  
• 7 oz corn syrup
  
• 7 eggs
  
• 13 oz brown sugar
  
• apricot glaze or ganache
  

Preheat oven to 350 F. Parbake a full sheet pan of pie dough or brise. Making sure to go up the sides of the pan and fill in any cracks or holes. In mixer cream the cheese and sugar. Add eggs one at a time and vanilla until combined. Scrape well before you add the eggs. Pour in pan and bake until somewhat just set. Basically touch the cheesecake mixture and pull out when the top is set about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat corn syrup and brown sugar in microwave until somewhat liquid, but not hot. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Set aside and pull out pan out of oven. Very gently pour mixture on top of cream cheese mix. Sprinkle pecans on top evenly and place back in oven until pecan mix is set. Cool. When cooled and ready to serve pour either ganache or a clear or apricot glaze on top and cut into bars. Easiest to cut when frozen.
