Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Next, incorporate the flour and bourbon extract until fully combined.
- Gently fold in the sliced fresh peaches into the cheesecake filling, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
- Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
- Let the cheesecake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 1 hour. After it reaches room temperature, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight before serving.

Notes
Ensure ingredients like cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature before mixing for a smoother filling. Avoid overmixing after adding eggs to prevent cracks. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain well to maintain texture.
