Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
Spread the cream cheese mixture into the pie crust.
In a saucepan, combine cranberries and sugar, cooking over medium heat until cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Pour over the cream cheese layer.
In another bowl, mix pecans, flour, melted butter, and cinnamon to create crumb topping. Sprinkle over the cranberry layer.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until topping is golden.
Allow to cool, then serve.

Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling. Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor.
