Ingredients
Scale
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Peach Topping and Garnish Ingredients:
- 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons (1/8 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup rolled oats (optional)
- Whipped cream
- Cinnamon (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and arrange cupcake liners in a muffin tin.
- Create the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Firmly press a tablespoon of mixture into each liner.
- Toast the crusts for 5-7 minutes until light golden, then allow to cool completely.
- Whip cream cheese and sugar until silky smooth. Incorporate vanilla, egg, and sour cream, blending until uniform consistency is achieved.
- Distribute cheesecake mixture over cooled crusts, filling each liner slightly past midpoint.
- Combine diced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, melted butter, flour, and oats, mixing until crumbly texture forms.
- Generously spread peach mixture atop cheesecake layer, creating rustic cobbler-style topping.
- Bake cupcakes for 20-25 minutes, ensuring cheesecake sets and topping turns golden brown.
- Allow cupcakes to reach room temperature, then refrigerate minimum 2 hours for optimal texture.
- Before serving, crown with dollop of whipped cream and light dusting of cinnamon.
Notes
- Adapt the crust by using gluten-free graham crackers or almond flour for a celiac-friendly version that maintains the delicious crumbly texture.
- Control moisture by patting peaches dry before mixing with cobbler topping to prevent soggy bottoms and ensure a crisp, golden crumble.
- Prevent cheesecake cracking by avoiding overmixing and allowing ingredients to reach room temperature before combining, creating smooth, silky filling.
- Enhance flavor depth by experimenting with spices like cardamom or adding a splash of bourbon to the peach mixture for a sophisticated twist.
