Frozen Peaches: You can use frozen peach slices when fresh peaches aren’t in season. Add 36 ounces frozen peaches to a medium saucepan on the stovetop with 2 and 1/4 tsp lemon juice, a pinch of lemon zest, 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla, a teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp nutmeg.
Cook over medium heat for 14 minutes. Bring the mixture to a rapid boil and add 1 tbsp corn starch. Cook for 2-4 minutes, until the sauce has thickened just enough to coat the back of a spoon, but isn’t gloopy. Remove from the heat immediately and pour into a bowl to chill in the fridge. Spoon about 1/3 of the peaches in the cheesecake, and use the remaining peaches on top for serving.
Note: The cheesecake may brown a bit on top, but that’s normal for this recipe. Mine came out a bit darker each time than with my traditional cheesecake recipe.

Instructions
Step 1
Roast the Peaches: Preheat your oven to 400 ° F. Slice 4 peaches. You'll want to make the peaches for the topping fresh the day you serve the cheesecake.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and toss the peach slices with 2 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp nutmeg and let rest for 10 minutes to bring out the juices. Roast the peaches for 7-15 minutes, until desired tenderness is reached. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
Make the Crust: Turn oven to 350° F for the remainder of this recipe. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray and make sure the bottom is securely fastened. Stir together crust ingredients in a small bowl and press into prepared pan and up the sides of the pan. Bake this for 10 minutes. Set aside
Step 4
Make the Cinnamon Streusel: Melt the butter in a medium mixing bowl. Stir the remaining streusel ingredients into the melted butter. You should have a crumbly mixture. Bake on a parchment-lined pan at 350° F for 8 minutes.
Step 5
In a large bowl, cream the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium-high speed, until nice and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the sugar and mix until creamed with the cream cheese. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each, on medium-low speed until just incorporated. Add the vanilla and sour cream, and mix until just incorporated.
Step 6
Pour half of the batter over the baked and cooled crust, then add the roasted peaches in an even layer. Sprinkle on 1/3 to 1/2 of the streusel. Pour on the remaining batter and smooth the top.
Step 7
Get out a roasting pan. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the cheesecake on a rack positioned in the center of the oven, and place the roasting pan on the rack below it. Pour the boiling water into the roasting pan. This is the best way to do a water bath – no possibility of leakage into your cheesecake!
Step 8
When done, the cheesecake will have only a slight wobble in the center, and a toothpick inserted into the edge will come out clean, and will have a bit of thick batter when inserted into the center. (A clean knife is a good sign that you've over baked your cheesecake and it won't have that extra creamy texture.) Turn off the oven and crack the oven door open. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour before removing it.
Step 9
Once the hour is up, remove the pan from the oven and let cool completely at room temp, then cover well with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours or up to 2 days before removing from the pan and serving.
Step 10
Once ready to serve the cheesecake, make the roasted peaches for the peach topping. Repeat the steps above, this time using 6 medium peaches, sliced, with 3 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp nutmeg. Let the peach slices cool to room temp on the pan and then place them on top of the chilled cheesecake with the remaining streusel. Be sure to drizzle on the juices from the pan!
Slice and serve. Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-6 days.
