Peach pie, Peach cobbler, Peach cake- there are endless peach recipes that you can make but if you are looking for an easy summer dessert with fresh peaches then this air fryer peach recipe is a must try.

The best part is you can even make it in small batches (even 1 or 2) in your air fryer and is healthier than other regular desserts like cakes or donuts.

Ingredients you’ll need:

Peaches: When it comes to air frying, fresh peaches are the best choice. You can use yellow or white peaches as per availability (I have used white variety here). Always look for ripe peaches which are just slightly soft to touch. If they are overripe, they might turn too mushy on air frying.

Butter: We will be using softened (not melted) butter to make these peaches in air fryer. I prefer salted butter as slight saltiness compliments the sugary taste of peaches and vanilla ice cream. You can use unsalted butter too.

Cinnamon: The warm cinnamon flavour pairs so well with caramelised peaches. Use good quality cinnamon powder.

Sweetener: Brown sugar tastes best in this peach recipe. Instead of brown sugar, coconut sugar can also be used.

Oil: Any cooking oil like olive oil, coconut oil or avocado oil can be used to brush on the peaches. It prevent them from getting dry while air frying.

Serving Ideas:

Toppings: To make these caramelised peaches even tastier, you can-

Drizzle some honey (or maple syrup) over them or garnish with gresh mint leaves.
Add granola or chopped nuts like pecans, walnuts for crunchy element
Top up with some whipped cream, yogurt or scoop of vanilla or peach ice cream.

Apart from having these succulent peaches as dessert, you can also serve them as accompaniment to pancakes, waffles, make fruit salad using them or use as topping on porridge, overnight oats or smoothie bowl.

FAQ:

How to store or reheat leftover air fried peaches?

You can store the peaches in an airtight container in fridge easily for 2-3 days. Whenever you want to have them microwave for 30-40 seconds or air fry 1-2 minutes.

Can we freeze air fryer baked peaches?

I would not recommend freezing these air fried peaches as they are already tender and after freezing & thawing they turn too squishy.
