Make the Cinnamon Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Mix in the melted butter and toss to combine. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and use your palm and fingertips, to firmly and evenly press the crust across the dish’s bottom and then up it’s sides just to the lip. 

Add the Dulce de Leche atop the crust, spreading evenly to cover the bottom crust entirely.

Make the Pumpkin Layer: In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sugar, salt, and cinnamon until smooth. Stir in the egg , pumpkin, and vanilla and mix until smooth. Pour mixture atop the dulce de leche, spreading evenly to all sides of the baking dish to cover the dulce layer entirely.

Bake at 350°F until the top ring of crust is golden brown and the pumpkin top is set but still jiggles back at you, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely before slicing and serving.
