Decadent Peach Crumb Cheesecake Delight

Step 3: Prepare the Crumb Topping

1. In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
2. Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter (or your fingers) to mix until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
3. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cheesecake layer.

Step 4: Bake the Cheesecake

1. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
2. Bake in the preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
3. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 15 minutes to prevent cracking.
4. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

1. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
2. When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of the springform pan and release the sides.
3. Slice generously and enjoy the harmony of creamy cheesecake, sweet peaches, and crumbly topping.
