Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Stir together the crust ingredients and press into 2 pie pans. Beat the cream cheese and sugar together with a mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla and the eggs and beat again.
Pour ⅓ of this mixture over each pie crust. (This was approximately 1⅓ cups of the filling into each crust.) Stir the pumpkin puree and the spices into the remaining filling and beat until well combined. Divide the pumpkin mixture evenly between the two pies and use a spatula to smooth it across the cheesecake layer.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the center looks almost set. A knife inserted should come out mostly clean. Cool at room temperature and then refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight. Top with whipped cream, just before serving. Enjoy!
