Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix until well-coated and press into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes until golden, then cool completely.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, gradually add sugar, then add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until combined.
  4. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly but set.
  5. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour with the door ajar.
  6. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Top with fresh berries and sliced peaches. Optionally brush with warmed apricot jam for gloss.
  8. Release the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into wedges to serve chilled.
