Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F° and line the outside of a 9 inch springform pan with aluminum foil and/or a plastic roasting bag.
Add the graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar into a food processor or blender and pulse until it reaches a fine, crumbly mixture. Press into the bottom and up the sides of the springform pan.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool and turn the oven down to 325 degrees F.
Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Mix in the eggs one at a time on low. Do not overmix.
Stir in sour cream until just combined.
Set aside and prepare the streusel topping by adding the flour, ½ cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter into a medium sized bowl.
Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust.
Spoon half peach pie filling evenly over the batter followed by ⅓ of the topping.
Slowly add remaining cheesecake batter and smooth the top.
Add on the remaining half of the peach pie filling and ⅔ of the streusel topping.
Place cheesecake into a roast pan or large oven safe pan and carefully pour hot water into the roast pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the pan.
Bake for 75-85 minutes or until set with a slight wobble in the center.
Turn off the oven and prop the oven door open with a wooden spoon for 1 hour.
Take out of the oven and place on the countertop and cool for an additional 1 hour before placing in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours or overnight until set.
Notes
Wrap the springform pan tightly to prevent water leaks
Bake until center slightly jiggles, not fully firm
