Prepare a 9” x 13” baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.

In a food processor, place the graham crackers and pulse until you have fine crumbs.

Add in the pecans and pulse until they are finely ground.

Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture starts to form clumps.

Pour into the bottom of the baking dish and press down firmly until you get an even layer. Set it aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla and cinnamon for about 3-4 minutes on high. The mixture should be creamy and smooth.

Carefully pour over the graham cracker layer.

Set it aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.

Add in the egg and the vanilla and continue to beat.

Using your hands, break the cookie mixture into small pieces and cover the cream cheese layer as much as possible.

In a small bowl, whisk the remaining sugar and cinnamon together.

Sprinkle evenly over the top of the entire dish.
