Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate the eggs one at a time. Finally, blend in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour until silky.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading evenly. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 40-45 minutes. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly jiggly. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
- After 30 minutes on the rack, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours to firm up the filling.
- Slice the ripe peaches into thin wedges. In a small saucepan, combine peach preserves, water, and optional lemon juice. Heat over medium until melted and smooth, stirring until well combined.
- Once chilled, arrange the peach slices over the top and drizzle the warm glaze generously for a glossy finish. Cut into bars for serving.

Notes
Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature for a smooth filling. Monitor baking to avoid overbaking and ensure chill time for best texture.
