Instructions
📝 Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes. Cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
Stir in vanilla and sour cream.
Pour filling over the baked crust.
Step 3: Prepare Peach Topping
In a saucepan, combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour (if using).
Cook over medium heat until peaches are tender and syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat and fold in butter.
Step 4: Assemble & Bake
Pour peach mixture over the cheesecake filling.
Optional: crumble some extra graham crackers or streusel over the top for a cobbler effect.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, until the center is almost set. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
