- Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even base.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes until lightly golden; set aside to cool.
Make the cheesecake filling
- Beat 24 oz cream cheese (softened) with 1 cup sugar until smooth.
- Add 3 large eggs one at a time, blending fully after each addition for a creamy texture.
- Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 cup sour cream for richness.

Prepare the peach cobbler topping
- Peel and slice 4 cups fresh peaches (or thawed frozen peaches).
- Toss with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
