Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a large pot, toss sliced peaches with lemon juice, brown sugar, sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes until soft. Set aside to cool.
- Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick spray. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press mixture into the bottom of the pan and chill.
Cheesecake Baking
- Beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in sour cream and corn starch, then add beaten eggs one at a time on low speed. Pour half of the mixture over the chilled crust.
- Place the springform pan into a roasting pan; add hot water until it reaches halfway up the side of the springform pan. Bake at 425°F for 13-15 minutes until the top is set, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Arrange peach slices on top of the cheesecake layer. Spoon remaining cheesecake mixture over the peaches and smooth it out. Bake for another 40-45 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center.
Cobbler Topping
- Combine flour, brown sugar, white sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add boiling water and mix until combined.
- Once the cheesecake is close to being done, add more peach slices and spoon the cobbler topping evenly. Bake for another 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside with the door cracked for about an hour. Cool, then refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
Serving
- Run a knife around the edges, release the sides of the springform pan, and slide it onto a serving plate. Top with any remaining peaches.
Notes
Let cream cheese come to room temp for a smoother mixture. Ensure to have a water bath to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
