There was only a few of us for the holidays, silly to make lots of desserts. This totally satisfied everyone's pumpkin pie and pecan pie cravings! Plus it's cheesecake, you can't go wrong!

I made this for Father's day. I had a little bit of trouble with the crust, but my dad and brothers loved it. I would definitely make this again.
