For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter for the crust. To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking. Homemade caramel sauce can be used in place of store-bought caramel topping for an even more decadent treat. Toast the pecans before chopping for a nuttier flavor.
