Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peach Slices: Fresh peaches work best for that juicy flavor! If they’re out of season, canned peaches are a good option—just remember to drain them. You can also use frozen peaches; just thaw and drain before using.
Granulated Sugar: This recipe uses sugar for sweetness. If you’re looking to cut down on sugar, try using a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit sweetener. You might need to adjust the amount according to the product’s instructions.
Butter: Unsalted butter adds richness to the batter. If you’re dairy-free, feel free to use coconut oil or a dairy-free margarine in the same amount for a similar taste and texture.
Milk: Any type of milk will work here, including almond milk or oat milk if you’re lactose intolerant. Use unsweetened dairy alternatives for the best flavor.
How Do I Get My Cobbler Cooked Evenly in an Air Fryer?
Cooking in an air fryer can be a little different than traditional baking, but you can easily get great results! Here’s how:
- Make sure your baking dish fits well in the air fryer basket to allow for proper air circulation.
- Preheat your air fryer for about 3-5 minutes before adding the cobbler. This helps it cook evenly.
- Keep an eye on the cooking time. Start checking for doneness around 18 minutes. If the top looks golden but the toothpick doesn’t come out clean, you might just need a few more minutes.
- Let it cool slightly after cooking. This helps set the cobbler and makes it easier to serve.

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious Easy Air Fryer Peach Cobbler will take approximately 10 minutes to prep and 18 to 22 minutes to cook in the air fryer. In total, you’re looking at about 30 minutes from start to finish. Perfect for a quick dessert any day of the week!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Peaches:
In a mixing bowl, toss the peach slices with 1/4 cup of sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit while you prepare the batter. This helps the peaches release their juices and enhances their flavor!
2. Make the Cobbler Batter:
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then, add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until just combined, but don’t overmix!
3. Assemble for Air Frying:
Lightly grease an air fryer-safe baking dish or a small ovenproof dish that fits in your air fryer basket. Pour the cobbler batter into the dish and spread it out evenly.
4. Add the Peach Layer:
Now, spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Don’t worry if it looks like the peaches are sitting on top; as it cooks, the batter will rise around them!
5. Air Fry the Cobbler:
Carefully place the dish in your air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 18 to 22 minutes. Keep an eye on it! You want the top to be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the batter should come out clean.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooked, carefully remove the cobbler from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you like. Enjoy your delicious, quick peach cobbler!
