Warm up your oven to 400°F. Slice four of the peaches and line a sheet tray with parchment. Mix peaches with 2 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and a dash of nutmeg. Let the mix sit for 10 minutes to draw out juices. Spread peaches and juice on the tray, baking for 7-15 minutes until soft. Cool them afterward.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Secure the base of the pan tightly. In a small bowl, combine crust ingredients. Press the mix evenly into the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Allow it time to cool before handling.

In a medium bowl, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt until a crumbly mix forms. Spread on a parchment-lined tray and bake in a 350°F oven for about 8 minutes. Let it cool after baking.

Use a hand mixer to beat softened cream cheese for one minute on medium-high. Mix in sugar until smooth, then add eggs one by one, blending gently at medium-low. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla until silky.

Pour half the cheesecake mixture onto the cooled crust. Arrange caramelized peaches on top, then sprinkle roughly 1/3 or 1/2 of the streusel. Spread the remaining batter on top, smoothing the surface.

Place the springform pan into a 10-inch round cake pan and put that inside a larger roasting dish. Add boiling water into the roasting dish without letting it seep into the pans. Bake at 350°F for 88-91 minutes, until the edges are set but the center has a little jiggle. Cool inside the oven (door slightly open) for 1 hour.

Let the cheesecake reach room temperature. Cover it with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or keep it chilled for up to 48 hours.

Roast 6 peaches with 3 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. When they're cool, spread roasted peaches and leftover streusel on the cheesecake. Store extra portions in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 6 days.
