Ingredients
Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and ¾ cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
In another bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
Layer the peach mixture on top of the cream cheese layer in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the cinnamon over the top of the peaches.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then remove the sides.
