Key Ingredients & Tips for Air Frying Peaches
- Ripe Peaches: Choose peaches that are slightly soft to the touch for the best tender texture when cooked.
- Air Fryer Settings: Don’t overcrowd your air fryer basket. Cook peaches in a single layer to ensure they cook evenly and get that nice browned finish.
What You Need for Air Fryer Peaches
- 2 ripe peaches
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp butter, melted
⏱️ Time: 15 minutes🍽️ Yields: 2 servings
How to Make Easy Air Fryer Peaches
Step 1: Prep Your Peaches
Wash and halve the peaches, carefully removing the pit. You can peel them if you prefer a smoother texture, but leaving the skin on is perfectly fine too.
Step 2: Season & Air Fry
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Brush this sweet mixture evenly over the cut sides of the peach halves. Place them cut-side up in your air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the peaches are tender when poked with a fork.
📝 Final Note
Serve these warm air fryer peaches with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or some plain Greek yogurt for a truly lovely treat.
