Ingredients
-
Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup melted butter
Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ tsp salt
Peach Cobbler Topping:
- 3 cups fresh or canned peaches, sliced
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp butter
Lattice Crust:
- 1 store-bought pie crust (or homemade)
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp sugar + cinnamon mix (for dusting)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
Mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake for 8 minutes and let cool. -
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract, sour cream, and salt.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and smooth the top. -
Bake the Cheesecake:
Wrap the springform pan with foil to prevent water from seeping in. Place the pan in a large roasting pan and pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, then turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 1 hour.
Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. -
Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping:
In a saucepan, heat sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter over medium heat.
Stir in cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water and cook until the mixture thickens and becomes syrupy.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let it cool. -
Assemble the Cheesecake:
Roll out the pie crust and cut into strips for the lattice topping.
Arrange the strips in a criss-cross pattern over the cheesecake filling.
Brush the lattice with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mix.
Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Let cool before serving.
Notes
- This cheesecake can be made in advance and chilled overnight for best flavor and texture.
- You can use canned peaches for convenience, but fresh peaches add extra flavor and texture to the topping.
- The lattice topping can be substituted with a full pie crust or left off entirely, depending on your preference
