1. Place graham crackers into a food processor, pulse until cookies form a loose crumb, then add pecans and repeat. Add melted butter, pinch salt and sugar to food processor, Pulse until it all comes together. Add mixture to a 9inch spring form pan. Using the bottom of a drinking glass, press the crumbs into the pan. Bake in a 350-degree oven, for 8 minutes.

Add Pumpkin puree and mix until smooth. Add the flour, sour cream, pinch salt and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and blend until combined. Last add in cinnamon, nutmeg, and all spice, mix until blended.
3. Pour batter into your graham cracker-pecan crust. Lightly wiggle to allow batter to smooth out. Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 60-70 minutes. Bake until cake is firm to the touch and the middle no longer jiggles. When cake is done, allow to cool on a rack for 1 hour. After an hour remove otter pan rim, and place cake in the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight. (overnight is recommended)
5. To make praline caramel sauce, start by adding heavy cream, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a saucepan. With the pan on a medium high heat, whisk continually until the sauce starts to thicken. Remove from the heat, add butter whisking until melted, combined and smooth. Last add in vanilla and allow sauce to come to room temp. It will thicken as it cools.
