- 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

- 2 tbsp butter
Lattice Crust:
- 1 store-bought pie crust (or homemade)

Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
Mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Press mixture into a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake for 8 minutes and let cool. -
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and salt.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top. -
Bake the Cheesecake:
Wrap the springform pan in foil to prevent water from leaking in.
Place the pan in a larger dish and pour hot water around it (creating a water bath).
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is slightly set.
Leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly cracked for 1 hour.
Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. -
Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping:
In a saucepan, heat peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter over medium heat.
Stir in cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water and cook until the mixture thickens.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let the topping cool. -
Prepare the Lattice Crust:
Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface. Cut into strips and form a lattice pattern over the cheesecake.
Brush the lattice with melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. -
Assemble & Serve:
Carefully spoon the peach cobbler topping onto the cooled cheesecake.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use canned peaches for convenience, but fresh peaches give a better texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter topping, you can add more sugar to the peach mixture.
- This cheesecake can be made a day in advance, and the flavor only improves!
