Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Crust

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a bowl, combine:

• 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 2 tbsp brown sugar

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool completely.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat 24 oz cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in:

• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Mix until fully combined, ensuring no lumps remain.

3. Bake the Cheesecake

Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled graham cracker crust.
Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with foil to prevent leaks and place it in a water bath for even baking and to avoid cracks.

Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 60–70 minutes, until the center is slightly jiggly but set.

Once baked, turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal texture and flavor.

4. Make the Peach Cobbler Topping

In a medium saucepan, combine:

• 2 cups sliced peaches
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp butter

Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water, then stir into the peach mixture. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the topping thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

5. Prepare Cinnamon Cream Cheese Glaze

In a mixing bowl, beat together:

• 4 oz cream cheese
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp milk

Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust milk quantity for desired glaze consistency.

6. Assemble the Dessert

Spoon the peach cobbler topping evenly over the chilled cheesecake.
Drizzle with the cinnamon cream cheese glaze.
Slice carefully with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean slices.
