Crust
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Cheesecake Filling
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Peach Cobbler Topping
- 2 cups fresh or canned peaches, sliced
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp butter
Cinnamon Cream Cheese Glaze
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and brown sugar until fully combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes to set the crust, then remove from oven and let it cool completely.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Using a mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, all-purpose flour, and cinnamon, mixing until the batter is uniform and smooth without lumps.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Wrap the outside of the pan in aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in. Place the pan in a water bath (a larger pan filled with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan) to ensure gentle, even baking and to minimize cracking. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but mostly set. Once done, turn off the oven, crack the oven door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to fully set.
- Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and butter. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth and add this slurry to the peach mixture. Stir constantly and cook for about 5 minutes until the topping thickens. Remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Make the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Glaze: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and milk until the glaze is smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the cooled peach cobbler topping evenly over the chilled cheesecake. Drizzle the cinnamon cream cheese glaze over the top. Slice the cheesecake into servings and enjoy this delicious fusion of peach cobbler and creamy cheesecake.
Notes
- Using a water bath prevents cracking and ensures a smooth, creamy cheesecake texture.
- Allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly in the oven reduces the chance of cracks forming.
- You can use fresh peaches when in season or canned peaches for convenience.
- If desired, substitute cornstarch with arrowroot powder for thickening the topping.
- Let the peach topping and glaze cool completely before assembling to avoid melting the cheesecake.
- This cheesecake is best served chilled for optimum texture and flavor.
