12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
3 large eggs
3/4 cup half-and-half cream
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
Whipped cream and ground nutmeg, optional

1
In small bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar; beat on medium speed until smooth. Beat in egg and orange zest. Refrigerate, covered, 30 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375u00b0. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Add eggs and cream; mix well.
3
Spread cream cheese mixture into pastry. Pour pumpkin mixture over cream cheese layer. Bake 25 minutes.
4
In a small bowl, combine cranberries, pecans, brown sugar and orange zest. Sprinkle over pumpkin. Cover edges with foil to prevent overbrowning. Bake 25-30 minutes longer or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
5
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. If desired, serve with whipped cream and nutmeg. Refrigerate leftovers.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
