Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the crust:

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

For the cheesecake filling:

• 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

For the peach cobbler topping:

• 4 cups sliced peaches, fresh or canned and well drained
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the cobbler crumble:

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour, and mix just until smooth. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.

In another bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer.

To make the crumble, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until crumbly. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the peach layer.

Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Remove from the oven, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
