04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt.
05 - Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
06 - Spread half of the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
07 - In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and egg and continue beating until fully combined.
08 - Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the first batter layer. Evenly distribute peach pie filling over the cheesecake layer.
