This Amish and Mennonite recipe from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, creates a decadent two-layered pie. A smooth cream cheese base is topped with chopped pecans, then covered with a sweet, egg-rich filling. The pie bakes until perfectly set, resulting in a delightful fusion of two beloved dessert classics in one deep-dish pastry crust.
