Ingredients:  
Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 lb melted butter
1/2 cups crushed pecans

3 large pkg cream cheese softened
1 cup sugar
4 eggs

Directions:
Use a removable bottom angel food cake pan or a 9X12 baking pan. Line pan bottom with parchment paper and butter bottom and sides of pan. Also grease center tube of angel food cake pan.

Crust: Combine crust ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Pat mixture over bottom and sides of pan working up to 1 inch of top. No need to put crust on tube of angel food cake pan. Cook in oven at 350º for 5 minutes

Filling: Mix 1 cup sugar and corn starch together. Beat cream cheese, sugar mixture, eggs, and vanilla in mixer until smooth and creamy. Spread over crust in pan. Bake at 350º for 30-40 minutes until set. A slight crack may appear on cake surface but cake shouldn't "jiggle" when touched on top. Remove pan from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Combine 1/4 cup sugar and sour cream and mix well. Spread over the baked layer in pan. Bake at 350º for 3-5 minutes. Cool pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes and refrigerate at least 2 hrs (Nana suggests overnight). Remove cake from pan after running small knife around edges or cutting in squares. Top with Pie filling or berries.

Traditional Family Recipe My mother loved anything sweet, and this is a very impressive dessert - also delicious! It takes a little extra time, but it stays well in the refrigerator for days when covered.
Love to all, Mimi
