Dreamy Air Fryer Sweet Peaches

Category: Where Culinary Traditions Collide

Making peaches in your air fryer means you can whip up a sweet fruity dessert with barely any work. Slice ripe peaches in half and pop out the pit, then brush on some melted butter. Pile on a mix of brown sugar and cozy cinnamon. Set them in your hot air fryer and cook 'til the tops are melty and the fruit is soft. The real flavor of the peaches just pops. Serve 'em hot with ice cream, or throw on some yogurt, nuts, or even granola for a snack anytime. Got extras? Keep them in the fridge and heat them up quick for another sweet bite later on.

Air fryer peaches are one of my top picks when summer hits. You get soft, golden fruit up top, and the taste feels just like the end of August—when grilling is done, but roasted peach flavor still calls my name. These go great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or even some yogurt. The best part? You’re done in around fifteen minutes.

I first made these because I needed to use up tons of peaches before they went bad. Since then, it’s a weekly thing at my house. My kids always want more and say each bite tastes like pure summer.

Irresistible Ingredients

  • Cinnamon: You’ll want ground cinnamon because it brings a cozy, spicy kick. I go for Saigon cinnamon if I want that extra smell in the kitchen.
  • Brown sugar: Grab soft, sticky brown sugar so everything gets nicely caramelized. Either dark or light is fine—it’s all tasty.
  • Butter: Melt some unsalted butter to make sure your sugar and spice stick just right. If it smells fresh and sweet, you’re set.
  • Peaches: Pick peaches that feel a bit soft when you squeeze them, but not mushy. The best taste comes from peaches that aren’t too ripe yet.

Simple Steps

Serve It Right Away:
Scoop the cooked peaches out with a spatula and enjoy them hot with some cold ice cream or toppings you like.
Air Fry and Get Bubbly:
Crank your air fryer to 390°F. Let the peaches cook for ten minutes until the tops look golden and have that bubbly look. Add another minute or two if you want that deep caramel look.
Set Up the Air Fryer:
If you don’t want drips, throw down parchment paper in your air fryer basket. Put the peach halves in a single layer, cut side up, so the air moves around them.
Sprinkle on Sugar Mix:
Mix cinnamon and brown sugar in a little bowl till the color looks even. Spoon or shake it all over the buttered sides, so each peach is covered on top.
Brush with Butter:
Take your melted butter and brush it over the cut sides so they don’t dry out. Make sure you get the whole cut surface.
Slice and Pit:
Wash and dry your peaches, cut them in half, and twist apart. Scoop the pit out gently with a spoon.

The syrupy stuff that collects under the peaches is probably my favorite part. My grandma used to stick peaches under the broiler and serve them hot with just a drizzle of cream on top. Smelling that sweetness always brings me back to being little.

Keep Them Fresh

Pop any leftover peaches in a sealed box and stick them in the fridge for up to three days. To heat them back up, use the microwave for half a minute or toss them into the air fryer for a couple minutes to make them caramelized again.

Swaps and Alternatives

No butter? Go for coconut oil or use a non-dairy spread if you want. Maple sugar or coconut sugar makes a good stand-in for brown sugar. Want something different? Try a pinch of nutmeg or a cinnamon-nutmeg combo for a new spin.

How to Serve

I usually set out small bowls of chopped almonds or pecans to add some crunch. A sprinkle of granola or crushed graham crackers makes it perfect for breakfast. For something lighter, top peaches with vanilla yogurt and maybe a little honey.

Peachy Tradition

Slow-roasting peaches has been a thing in southern homes forever. When summer rolls around, this way skips the oven heat but gives you all that old-school caramelized peach taste you crave.

FAQs About the Recipe

→ Is it okay to use frozen or canned peaches?

You'll get the best results with firm, fresh peaches. Canned and frozen ones can turn mushy and wet, but if you drain and gently dry them, they'll work in a pinch.

→ Do I need to peel my peaches first?

No, leave the skins on. They help keep the peaches together while cooking, and they also add a nice feel. Just remove the pit and you're good.

→ What's the best way to serve air-fried peaches?

Top them with cold vanilla ice cream, a dollop of yogurt, a handful of nuts, or sprinkle some crunchy granola to make it more fun.

→ Is it possible to make these ahead?

For sure. Store the finished peaches in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days. To enjoy them warm again, just pop them back in the air fryer or microwave for a minute.

→ Any spices besides cinnamon that work with peaches?

Cinnamon tastes amazing, but you can shake on nutmeg, cardamom, or ginger for an awesome twist and extra flavor.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 01

Once the peaches are done, take them out of the air fryer. Dish them up while they’re still warm, and, if you want, add some ice cream or whatever you like on top.

Step 02

Let them cook for 10 minutes at 199°C (390°F) until they're soft and the tops look caramelized. Want them extra caramelized? Give them a couple more minutes.

Step 03

Lay the peach halves flat in the air fryer basket. To make cleanup easier, feel free to put down a sheet of parchment paper first.

Step 04

Take the peaches, slice them lengthwise, and pop out the pits. Brush the cut faces with some melted butter.
