Directions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 7” springform pan with butter, then line the bottom with a parchment paper circle.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, stir together the crushed graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are wet.
  3. 3Press the crumbs into the bottom and 3/4 of the way up the sides of the prepared pan, using a small measuring cup to flatten and smooth out.
  4. 4Bake the crust at 350F for 8-10 minutes. Remove and let cool while you make the crumble and fillings.
  5. 5Reduce the oven temperature to 325F.
  6. 6In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, sliced peaches, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice.
  7. 7Mix until combined. Cook over medium heat until the peaches are softened (5-8 minutes).
  8. 8Mix together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
  9. 9Pour the slurry into the peach mixture, stir, and continue to cook until the mixture thickens (1-2 more minutes).
  10. 10Remove from the heat and pour into a medium bowl. Set aside to cool to room temp.
  11. 11For the oat crumble, mix together all of the ingredients in a medium bowl, until well combined and crumbly. Set aside.
  12. 12In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a whisk or handheld electric mixer until smooth.
  13. 13Add the sugar and salt, and beat for another minute until smooth.
  14. 14Whisk in the eggs, one at time, adding the next egg only after the previous is fully incorporated.
  15. 15Add the Greek yogurt; whisk until combined.
  16. 16Finally, add the heavy cream, lemon juice, and vanilla. Whisk thoroughly until combined.
  17. 17Tightly wrap the bottom of the cheesecake pan with at least 2 layers of foil.
  18. 18Place a slow cooker liner around the bottom of the pan to really prevent water from seeping into the bottom.
  19. 19Pour half of the cheesecake mixture onto the crust.
  20. 20Gently top it with the peach filling, trying to keep about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  21. 21Top the peach filling with the other half of the cheesecake mixture.
  22. 22Finish by sprinkling the oat crumble all over the top.
  23. 23Place the cheesecake pan into the center of a 9x13” (or larger) baking pan.
  24. 24Pour boiling water into the larger pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan.
  25. 25Bake at 325F for 90-95 minutes, until the top is golden, and the edges are set but the middle is still a bit jiggly.
  26. 26Once done, open the oven door halfway and let it cool to room temperature for 1-2 hours.
  27. 27After cooled, wrap the cheesecake tightly, and place into the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill.
  28. 28Once ready to serve, release from the pan. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Tips

  • To speed up the cooling process for the peach mixture, place it in the refrigerator.
  • When assembling, try to keep about a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the peach filling on the cheesecake layer.
  • Tightly wrap the bottom of the cheesecake pan with at least 2 layers of foil and a slow cooker liner to prevent water from seeping in during the water bath.
  • After baking, let the cheesecake cool to room temperature in the oven with the door halfway open for 1-2 hours.
