Peach Cobbler Cheesecake
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
- ⅓ cup brown sugar for peach topping
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for peach topping
- ⅛ 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.

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.
