Pecan Pie Dip with Crunchy Pie-Crust Dippers

Cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbling.

Whisk cream, water, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon vanilla and salt together in a measuring cup.

Carefully pour into the saucepan, whisking frequently until bubbling and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in pecans.

Let cool for at least 30 minutes.

Whisk cream cheese, yogurt and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla together in a small bowl.

Unroll the prepared pie crust onto a clean cutting board.

Cut into 20 rectangles (about 1 1/2-by-3 1/2 inches).

Transfer to a large sheet pan and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Bake until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.

To serve, place the cream cheese mixture in a shallow bowl.

Pour the pecan mixture over the top.

Serve with the pie-crust dippers.
