Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
Step 3: Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping
- In a medium saucepan, combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4: Make the Cobbler Crumble Topping
- In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 5: Assemble and Bake
- Spoon the peach cobbler mixture over the cheesecake batter. Sprinkle the cobbler crumble topping evenly over the peaches.
- Place the cheesecake pan into a water bath (wrap the pan in foil to prevent leaks and place it inside a larger pan filled with hot water).
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Step 6: Serve
- Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce and top with whipped cream, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
