Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

For the Peach Cobbler Topping:

• 4-5 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Crumble Topping:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Prepare the Crust

Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C) and greasing a 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper to make sure your cheesecake releases smoothly later on. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan, forming an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set it aside to cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream, mixing just until combined. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, using a spatula to smooth out the top. The creamy filling will be the perfect base for the peaches.

3. Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping

In another bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until they are evenly coated. The peaches will start to release their juices and become fragrant. Evenly spoon the peach mixture over the cheesecake filling, ensuring that each slice gets its fair share of those sweet, spiced peaches.

4. Make the Crumble Topping

In a small bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Mix until the ingredients form a coarse, crumbly texture. Sprinkle this crumble topping generously over the peach layer. The combination of oats, butter, and brown sugar will create a crunchy topping that perfectly complements the creamy cheesecake.

5. Bake the Cheesecake

Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills, then bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar, and let it cool for an hour. This slow cooling process helps prevent cracks. After the hour is up, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, though overnight is even better. This allows the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set perfectly.

Serving and Storing Your Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Once your cheesecake is fully chilled and set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Slice into this gorgeous creation and watch as each layer—crumbly crust, creamy cheesecake, peach cobbler topping, and buttery crumble—comes together in perfect harmony. For an extra indulgence, serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The cold ice cream paired with the rich cheesecake is a match made in dessert heaven. If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors will continue to develop, making the cheesecake even more delicious over time.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

• Peach Perfection: Use ripe but firm peaches for the topping. Overripe peaches can become too mushy when baked.
• Crust Boost: Add a pinch of cinnamon to the graham cracker crust for an extra layer of flavor.
• Bourbon Twist: For a more grown-up version, add a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the peach mixture for a hint of warmth and depth.
• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs are at room temperature before starting. This helps create a smoother cheesecake filling.
• Prevention of Cracks: To avoid cracks, don’t overmix the cheesecake filling, and allow the cheesecake to cool gradually by turning off the oven and leaving the door slightly ajar.
