Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Peach Filling
- 4–5 ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Cheesecake Batter
- 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cobbler Topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- Prepare the Crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes to set the crust, then remove and let cool.
- Make the Peach Filling: Peel and slice the peaches. Combine with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan. Simmer gently over medium heat until peaches soften and the mixture thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Whip Up the Cheesecake Batter: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, then eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully combined with no lumps.
- Assemble Layers: Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Spoon the warm peach filling evenly on top. Swirl gently with a knife or skewer to create marbled layers combining cheesecake and peaches.
- Prepare the Cobbler Topping: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this crumble evenly over the peach layer.
- Bake and Cool: Bake the assembled cheesecake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, until the topping is golden and the center has a slight wobble. Remove from oven and cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Do not overbake; a slight wobble in the center ensures creamy texture.
- Peel peaches by blanching briefly in boiling water to make skin removal easier.
- Chill cheesecake overnight to firm up and deepen flavors.
- Use a water bath during baking to prevent cracks and achieve a creamy texture.
