- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed

- 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 inch springform pan with cooking spray.
- Place the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar and butter in a bowl; stir until well combined.
- Firmly press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the prepared pan.
- Place the crust in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown.
- Place the cream cheese and brown sugar in the bowl of a mixer. Beat until completely smooth, 2-3 minutes.

- Add the pumpkin puree, flour, vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the baked crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

- Decorate the cheesecake with whipped cream and candy pumpkins if desired, then cut into slices and serve.

Notes
- Make sure to buy canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. The labels may be similar, so pay attention.
- When making your graham cracker crust press firmly to get the graham crackers and butter to form a solid crust.
- Run your graham crackers through a food processor for fine, evenly sized crumbs.
