Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Mix until the crumbs resemble damp sand. Press into the bottom of your springform pan for about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Bake the crust for approximately 10 minutes until light golden brown. Cool completely.
- Blend room temperature cream cheese with granulated sugar using an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition to maintain a silky texture.
- Mix in bourbon extract and cornstarch until just combined. Avoid lumps.
- Gently fold in the peaches into the cheesecake batter.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for about 60 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
- Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan, slice into wedges, and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes
Ensure room temperature ingredients for a smooth filling. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks during baking. Chill the cheesecake well before serving.
