Recipe Added:  10/27/2012
Filling
1 8- oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Topping
2 cups sour cream
4 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla

 Crust
1 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chilled butter, diced
1 cup pecan halves
3/4 cup regular oats
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 baking pan. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix flour, brown sugar, salt, and butter until combined. Mix pecans and oats until moistened. Reserve 1 cup oat mixture; press remaining into prepared pan. Transfer remaining crumbs to baking sheet.

Bake crumbs until golden, stirring once, 8-10 minutes. Cool. Bake crust until golden,10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside while preparing filling. Keep oven turned on.

Filling  Mix all ingredients in blender until smooth. Spread over warm crust and bake until firm to the touch and edges are just slightly risen, about 18-20 minutes.

Topping  Whisk ingredients in bowl then spread evenly over baked filling. Bake until topping sets and bubbles at edges, about 5-7 minutes. Cool in pan, then sprinkle and press crumbs over topping. Cover, chill until cold, 2 hours. Cut into squares and serve.
