Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs or digestive biscuits
  • ¼ cup brown sugar for crust
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon for crust
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted for crust
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened full-fat recommended
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt adds tang and creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract divided between filling and topping
  • 3 cups sliced fresh or canned peaches drained if using canned
  • cup brown sugar for peach topping
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for peach topping
  • teaspoon ground nutmeg optional, for peach topping
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour for cobbler topping
  • ¼ cup brown sugar for cobbler topping
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon for cobbler topping
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed for cobbler topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with foil to prepare for a water bath.
  • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove and reduce oven temperature to 325°F (163°C).
  • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in sour cream and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • Pour cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust. Place pan in a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water halfway up the sides (water bath).
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is mostly set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  • While cheesecake bakes, prepare the peach topping: In a saucepan, cook peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla over medium heat until slightly thickened. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, make the cobbler topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cubed butter. Cut in the butter until mixture is crumbly.
  • After 45-50 minutes, carefully remove cheesecake from oven. Spoon peach topping over the cheesecake, then sprinkle with cobbler crumble.
  • Return to oven and bake an additional 20-25 minutes, or until topping is golden and cheesecake is fully set.
  • Cool cheesecake at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Add a caramel drizzle or whipped cream for extra indulgence. For a twist, use bourbon in the peach topping or sprinkle with toasted pecans. Store in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months, tightly wrapped.

How to Make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Step 1: Make the Graham Cracker Crust

Start by crushing graham crackers into fine crumbs (a food processor makes this easy). Mix the crumbs with melted butter, brown sugar, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Press the mixture into a springform pan and bake for about 8-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C). This gives the crust a toasty flavor and keeps it from getting soggy.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in eggs one at a time, followed by sour cream and vanilla. Mix until silky and well combined, then pour over the pre-baked crust. Bake at 325°F (163°C) in a water bath to ensure a creamy texture and prevent cracks.

Step 3: Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping

While the cheesecake bakes, cook your peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla over medium heat. If using canned peaches, drain them well before cooking. Let the mixture thicken slightly, then remove from heat.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter to create a crumbly topping. This will add the perfect cobbler-like crunch.

Step 4: Assemble & Finish Baking

Once the cheesecake is mostly set (about 45-50 minutes into baking), carefully spoon the peach mixture on top. Sprinkle the crumbly cobbler topping over the peaches, then return to the oven for another 20-25 minutes until the topping is golden brown.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best). This allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Toppings & Variations

  • Caramel Drizzle: A touch of caramel sauce makes this even more decadent.
  • Whipped Cream: A dollop of fresh whipped cream adds a light, airy contrast.
  • Pecan Crunch: For an extra crunch, sprinkle some toasted pecans on top before serving.
  • Bourbon Peaches: Add a splash of bourbon to the peaches for a sophisticated twist.

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze Peach Cobbler Cheesecake for up to 2 months. Wrap it tightly and thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Quick answers for a creamy, crack-free, peach-perfect cheesecake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?
Yes—canned peaches work well when fresh aren’t available. Drain them thoroughly and pat dry so excess liquid doesn’t soften the cobbler topping. Fresh peaches deliver the brightest flavor, but both options are delicious.
How do I prevent the cheesecake from cracking?
Bake in a water bath to keep gentle, even heat and moisture. Mix the batter just until smooth (don’t overmix), avoid opening the oven early, and let the cheesecake cool gradually with the oven door slightly ajar.
What’s the best way to thicken the peach topping?
Simmer peaches with brown sugar and cinnamon until juices reduce and look glossy. If still thin, whisk 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 teaspoon cold water and stir into the peaches; simmer 30–60 seconds until syrupy.
Can I make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake ahead of time?
Absolutely. The flavor and texture improve after chilling. Bake a day ahead, cool to room temp, then cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best) before slicing and serving.
How should I store leftovers?
Refrigerate slices in an airtight container for up to 5 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
What toppings and add-ins work best?
Try a warm caramel drizzle, freshly whipped cream, or toasted pecans for crunch. For a twist, add a splash of bourbon or vanilla bean to the peaches to deepen the cobbler flavor.

Pro tip: Add the peach layer when the cheesecake is mostly set, then finish baking with the crumb topping until golden—this keeps the center creamy and the cobbler crisp.
