Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Divide mixture among muffin cups and press firmly into the bottoms. Bake for 5 minutes.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add honey, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt until just combined.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling into the baked crusts, leaving room at the top. Bake for 18-22 minutes until centers are set.
  5. Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar for 30 minutes to cool gradually before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
  6. Simmer diced peaches in a saucepan with honey and lemon juice for 5-7 minutes. Optionally stir in cornstarch.
  7. Once cooled, spoon the peach topping over each cupcake and serve or refrigerate until ready.
