Preparation

Step 1

Roll out the pie crust and place in a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla and beaten egg yolk and beat until smooth. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Spread the mixture into the bottom of the pie crust.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
In another mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin, evaporated milk, 2 eggs, ¼ cup sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Beat until smooth, then very carefully pour the mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Cover the edges of the pie with foil, then bake an additional 25 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and butter. Cut in the butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the pie. Return to the oven and bake another 10-15 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean.
Cool the pie for 1 to 2 hours, then transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely.

Notes
I like to place the pie on a baking sheet. Not only does this make it so I don't have to worry about the pie making a mess if it cooks over, but it's easier to transfer into and out of the oven. It also makes it easier to not have to worry about spilling as much when you add the streusel topping.
