Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.3️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, sour cream, and flour until fully combined.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.4️⃣ Add the Peach Filling
Spread the prepared peach filling over the cheesecake layer in an even layer. Set aside while you make the cobbler topping.5️⃣ Make the Cobbler Topping
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to come together (it should be a thick batter).
