- ⅓ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

- Fold in the chopped pecans, then pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- After the cheesecake has cooled, remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- To make the Pecan Caramel Sauce, in a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Stir over medium heat until everything is melted and combined.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and chopped pecans.
- Once the cheesecake is chilled, remove it from the springform pan, and drizzle the pecan caramel sauce over the top before serving.
