Ingredients
Scale
Peaches:
- 4 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup peach preserves
Cheesecake Base:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Optional Garnish:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined, then press firmly into the pan’s bottom to create a compact crust.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then blend in sour cream and vanilla extract.
- Arrange sliced peaches in an even layer over the prepared crust, gently spreading peach preserves on top.
- Pour cheesecake batter carefully over the peach layer, ensuring even distribution.
- Create cobbler topping by combining flour, brown sugar, cold butter cubes, cinnamon, salt, and rolled oats, using fingertips to form crumbly mixture.
- Sprinkle cobbler topping generously over the cheesecake batter, covering the surface completely.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is almost set with a slight wobble and edges are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and add a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
- Carefully release from springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.
Notes
- Prevent Crust Crumbling by pressing graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the pan’s bottom, creating a solid foundation that holds together when sliced.
- Achieve Smooth Cheesecake Texture by bringing cream cheese to room temperature before mixing and beating until completely lump-free, ensuring a silky-smooth consistency.
- Control Moisture with Fresh Peaches by patting sliced peaches dry with paper towels, preventing excess liquid from making the cheesecake soggy and maintaining a perfect texture.
- Customize Dietary Needs by substituting graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives, using dairy-free cream cheese, or replacing sugar with monk fruit sweetener for various dietary preferences.
