Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Combine:
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Melted butter
Mix until evenly coated.
Press firmly into the bottom of the pan.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Peach Filling
In a saucepan combine:
- Peaches
- Brown sugar
- Granulated sugar
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Butter
- Lemon juice
Cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes.
Mix cornstarch with water.
Add to peaches.
Cook another 2 minutes until thickened.
Stir in vanilla.
Allow to cool.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
Beat cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add sugar.
Mix until creamy.
Add:
- Sour cream
- Vanilla
- Flour
Mix until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time.
Mix on low speed just until incorporated.
Avoid overmixing.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake
Pour half the cheesecake batter over the crust.
Spoon half of the cooled peach filling over the batter.
Use a knife to gently swirl.
Add remaining cheesecake batter.
Top with the remaining peach filling.
Step 5: Prepare the Cobbler Crumble
In a bowl combine:
- Flour
- Brown sugar
- Cinnamon
- Salt
Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until coarse crumbs form.
Sprinkle evenly over the cheesecake.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 70–80 minutes.
The center should still jiggle slightly.
Turn the oven off.
Leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
This helps prevent cracking.
Step 7: Chill
Cool completely.
Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 8: Decorate and Serve
Top with:
- Fresh peach slices
- Whipped cream
- Caramel drizzle
- Toasted pecans
Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use room-temperature cream cheese.
- Fresh peaches provide the best flavor, but canned peaches (well-drained) are an excellent substitute.
- Avoid overbeating the batter after adding the eggs.
- Bake using a water bath for an even creamier cheesecake if desired.
- Cool gradually to minimize cracking.
- Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.
