Roasting Peaches
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice fresh peaches and toss them with brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Spread the peach mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, roasting for 20–25 minutes until soft and caramelized, then allow to cool.
Preparing Streusel
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, and cubed butter. Mix until crumbly and well combined. Spread the streusel mixture evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Making Crust
- In a separate bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until moistened. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 10 minutes.
Mixing Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth. Gradually add eggs, one at a time, and stir in vanilla extract.
Layering and Baking
- Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Layer the roasted peaches and half of the streusel, then spoon the remaining cheesecake filling over. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50–60 minutes.
Cooling and Chilling
- Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for about an hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight to firm up.
Preparing Topping
- While the cheesecake cools, roast any remaining sliced peaches with brown sugar at 400°F (200°C) for 10–15 minutes until tender. Cool before layering them atop the cheesecake.

Notes
Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Avoid over-mixing the filling to prevent cracks. Chill the cheesecake for optimal texture.
