Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cream together butter and brown sugar in a bowl until smooth. Add vanilla, then mix in flour, pumpkin pie spice, and pecans. Press into the bottom of the dish and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
Whip cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and half of the whipped topping. Mix in the rest of the whipped topping.
Prepare the pudding by whisking together milk and pudding mix until thickened. Spread cream cheese mixture over cooled crust, followed by the pudding layer.
Top with remaining whipped topping. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Garnish with pecans before serving.

Refrigerating overnight gives the dessert the best texture.
Top with additional whipped cream or caramel sauce for extra flavor.
