Prep Time: 15 minutes / Cook Time: 1 hour 10 minutes / Yields: Makes 8 servings

Crust

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray an 8-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine in a medium bowl graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar; stir to moisten crumbs. Press crust into bottom and slightly up sides of springform pan.

Step 3

Bake in center of oven for 6 minutes or until crumbs just begin to brown. Remove from oven; cool. Leave oven on.

Filling

Step 1

Purée peaches in mini food processor until smooth. Divide in half and set aside.

Step 2

In mixer bowl, beat cream cheese on a medium speed; then, gradually add sugar and beat until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time; beat until light and whipped. Beat in vanilla, sour cream, and puréed peaches; then, stir in flour. Pour mixture into prepared crumb crust.

Step 3

Wrap the bottom and sides of the springform pan in foil and set the pan on a baking sheet with sides. Set the baking sheet on the middle rack of oven, pour one half inch of hot water onto the baking sheet; then, carefully push the rack in and close oven door.

Step 4

Bake for 10 minutes then reduce oven temperature to 325 F. Bake for one hour or until set. Cheesecake is done when a knife inserted in center comes out clean. The cake should still jiggle a bit when moved. Remove from oven and from the water bath and cool 45 minutes to one hour. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

Glazed Peach Topping

Step 1

Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and water together in a saucepot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Fold in reserved peach puree and peach slices, bring mixture back to a boil, stirring constantly; then, reduce heat and simmer 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce is thickened and translucent. Do not overcook the peaches. Stir in lemon juice, remove from heat, and cool. Chill until ready to serve.

Step 2

To serve, arrange cooked peaches decoratively over top of cheesecake, allowing sauce to drip down the sides.
