2cupsPeachesPeeled and sliced (fresh or thawed frozen, patted dry)
1teaspoonGround cinnamon
1/4teaspoonGround nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lightly greasing the sides and lining the bottom with parchment if you prefer easier release. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine 2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened and hold together when pressed.
Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, using the bottom of a measuring cup or a flat glass to compact the crust tightly and evenly. Bake the crust for 8 minutes if you’d like extra firmness, then let cool slightly.
In another bowl, beat 16 oz softened cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and completely lump-free. Scrape the bowl sides so everything is evenly mixed. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed and ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Fold in the sliced peaches, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg gently with a spatula so the fruit is distributed but the filling remains airy. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with an offset spatula.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly — it will continue to firm as it cools. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Serve chilled.
