Prepare the Pie
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
This recipe was originally intended for my first cookbook, Something Sweet. Sadly, under tight deadlines, I didn’t have the time to give this recipe the time and attention it needed. Luckily, I didn’t forget the idea completely, because once I had the time to develop this recipe properly, it became an instant hit and a family favorite!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, on medium speed, beat together oil and sugars until combined and creamy.
Add eggs, one at a time. Add baking powder, and vanilla, beating well to combine after each addition.
Turn mixer speed to low; gradually add flour. Beat until combined. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and oil until smooth. Set aside.
When filling pie crust, be careful to add each layer very gently, so you don’t break the crust. Pour one fourth of the batter into the graham cracker crust; use a flexible spatula to smooth the top. Top with one fourth of the filling. Smooth the top.
Repeat the process, ending with the batter. Note that the batter will be hard to spread; you can make fewer layers so that it is easier to assemble.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until top is set. It’s meant to be soft in the center, so don’t overbake it.
Combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
For best results, serve warm. Drizzle glaze over each slice just before serving.
Notes:
This pie freezes well. Wrap tightly before freezing; reheat and glaze just before serving.

I love making pie crust desserts and I'm so happy I found this coz it's absolutely delicious! My new favourite!
Can I skip the crust and just make in a pan?
Can I make the glaze in advance and reheat?
Sure! You probably won't need to reheat it. You'll just give it a good mix, and it should be thick and ready to drizzle on top.
what can i use insread of non dairy cream cheese?
If you'd like to keep them non-dairy there is no other real substitute. If you'd like to make them dairy then you can use cream cheese. You can also make a glaze without cream cheese like in this recipe https://www.kosher.com/recipe/cinnamon-buns-3237
fav dessert to make!! always a hit!
