Ingredients
  

Graham Cracker Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
Cheesecake Filling
  • 32 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs large, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Peach Filling
  • 3 cups sliced peaches fresh, frozen (thawed), or canned (drained)
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1.5 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Streusel Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 pinch salt

Equipment

  • 9-inch Springform Pan
  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • Medium saucepan
  • Roasting pan (for water bath)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment and tightly wrap the outside with double layers of heavy-duty foil.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
  3. In a saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook for 4-5 minutes until soft.
  4. Mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp cold water to make a slurry. Stir into peaches and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  5. For streusel, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold cubed butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate.
  6. Beat softened cream cheese until perfectly smooth. Add sugar and flour, beating until combined. Mix in sour cream and vanilla.
  7. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour half the cheesecake batter over the crust. Top with half the cooled peach filling. Add remaining batter, top with remaining peaches, and sprinkle evenly with streusel.
  9. Place springform pan in a roasting pan. Pour boiling water into the roasting pan until 1 inch up the sides. Bake at 325°F for 75-85 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
  10. Turn oven off, crack door open, and leave cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool slowly. Remove, cool to room temp, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese and eggs are completely at room temperature before mixing to avoid a lumpy batter.
