• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs

For the Peach Layer

• 4 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned, drained)

For the Cobbler Topping

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes and cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Peach Filling

Combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened. Let cool.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Batter

Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and sour cream until creamy.

Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake

Pour half the cheesecake filling over the crust. Spoon half the peach mixture on top. Add the remaining cheesecake filling.

Step 5: Make the Cobbler Topping

Mix flour, sugars, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until crumbly.

Step 6: Add the Topping

Spread remaining peaches over the cheesecake and sprinkle the cobbler topping evenly across the top.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 60–70 minutes until the center is slightly set. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour.

Step 8: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.

Tips for Success

• Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling
• Drain canned peaches well to avoid extra moisture
• Avoid overmixing the batter after adding eggs
• Bake the cheesecake on the center oven rack
• Chill overnight for the best texture and cleaner slices
• Run a knife around the edge before releasing the springform pan

Variations & Substitutions

• Use nectarines instead of peaches for a slightly different flavor
• Swap graham crackers for vanilla wafer crumbs
• Add chopped pecans to the cobbler topping for crunch
• Use canned peach pie filling for a quicker version
• Replace cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice for fall flavor
• Make it gluten-free using gluten-free cookie crumbs and flour

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with whipped cream and fresh peach slices
• Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra richness
• Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving
• Pair with hot coffee or sweet tea
• Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon for presentation
