Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups sliced fresh peaches (peeled)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan, line the bottom with parchment, and wrap the pan in foil.
  2. Make the crust & topping: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Press most into the bottom of the pan and reserve 1 cup for topping. Bake crust for 10 minutes and let cool.
  3. Prepare the peach layer: Mix peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Cook in a skillet for 5–7 minutes if needed to soften.
  4. Make cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time. Mix in sour cream, vanilla, and flour until just combined.
  5. Assemble: Spread peach mixture over cooled crust. Pour cheesecake batter over peaches and smooth the top. Sprinkle with reserved crumble. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 60–70 minutes, until center is just set. Turn off oven, crack door, and let cool inside for 1 hour.
  7. Chill in fridge at least 4 hours (or overnight) before slicing.
  8. Serve chilled or slightly warm. Garnish with whipped cream, peach slices, or caramel if desired.

Notes

  • For canned or frozen peaches, drain well before using.
  • Let all ingredients come to room temp before mixing to avoid lumps and cracks.
  • A water bath can be used for extra insurance against cracking but isn’t essential.
  • Slice with a hot, sharp knife and wipe clean between cuts.
