Ingredients
2tablespoonsbutter
1tablespoonneutral oil, such as grapeseed or avocado
½cuppacked light brown sugar
¼cupheavy cream
¼cupwater
2teaspoonscornstarch
1 ½teaspoonsvanilla extract, divided

1(8 ounce) packagereduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
¼cuplow-fat plain yogurt
19-inchrefrigerated pie crust, at room temperature

Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Heat butter and oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add brown sugar; stir until incorporated. Cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbling. Whisk cream, water, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon vanilla and salt together in a measuring cup. Carefully pour into the saucepan, whisking frequently until bubbling and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in pecans. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
Whisk cream cheese, yogurt and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla together in a small bowl.
To serve, place the cream cheese mixture in a shallow bowl. Pour the pecan mixture over the top. Serve with the pie-crust dippers.
Tips
Tip: Toasting nuts deepens the flavor and gives them a crisp, delightful crunch. To toast nuts, spread in a single layer in a small baking pan and bake in a 350°F oven until golden and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring the nuts or shaking the pan once. Transfer to a small bowl or plate to cool.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
