Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
Peach Cobbler Topping
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) to prepare for baking the cheesecake.
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, mixing until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the cream cheese mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Assemble Filling on Crust: Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust in the springform pan.
- Prepare Peach Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, mix fresh sliced peaches with cinnamon, brown sugar, flour, rolled oats, sugar, and softened butter until all ingredients are well combined to create the cobbler topping.
- Add Topping: Spread the peach cobbler mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer in the springform pan.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the cheesecake center is set and the topping is golden and bubbly.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to fully set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for the smoothest filling.
- Peel and slice fresh peaches for the best flavor; canned peaches can be used in a pinch but may alter texture.
- Press the crust firmly into the pan to prevent crumbling when slicing.
- Allow enough chilling time; this helps the cheesecake set and enhances flavor.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal and presentation.
- For a more intense peach flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of peach extract or a splash of peach brandy to the topping.
