Press mixture into pan.

Pour filling over crust.
Wrap pan in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
Bake until center of cheesecake only slightly ‘jiggles’, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
Turn off heat, prop open oven door, and let cheesecake cool in oven – 1 hour – then refrigerate cheesecake until firm, at least 5 hours and up to overnight.

Pecan pie topping:
In a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter and brown sugar until bubbly.
Stir in cinnamon, heavy cream, and pecans until coated, then let cool.
Spoon cooled pecan pie topping over cheesecake and … serve!
