Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.

        - Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.

          Prepare the Peach Filling:

            - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Cook for 5-7 minutes until peaches start to soften and release juices.

              - Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

                Make the Cheesecake Filling:

                  - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer. Gradually add sugar and continue mixing until well combined.

                    - Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

                      - Stir in vanilla extract, almond extract, and sour cream until smooth.

                        Assemble the Cheesecake:

                          - Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust.

                            - Spoon half of the peach filling over this layer.

                              - Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top followed by the remaining peach filling. Use a knife to swirl the peach filling into the cheesecake slightly.

                                Bake:

                                  - Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

                                    - Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.

                                      Cool and Chill:

                                        - Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.

                                          - Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for better flavor.

                                            Serve:

                                              - Before serving, whip the cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread it evenly over the top of the chilled cheesecake.

                                                - Sprinkle with cinnamon and garnish with fresh peach slices if desired.

                                                  - Slice, serve, and enjoy your delightful Southern Peach Cobbler Cheesecake!
