Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your crust will bake evenly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until it is slightly golden.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue mixing until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until just blended. Finally, fold in the sour cream until creamy and smooth.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the sliced peaches with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch until well-coated.
Arrange the peach mixture on top of the cheesecake layer evenly.
Bake in the oven for an additional 40-45 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
