Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour with the door ajar.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Top with fresh berries and sliced peaches. Optionally brush with warmed apricot jam for gloss.
- Release the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into wedges to serve chilled.
