Air Fryer Desserts

Air Fryer Peach Cobbler is a no-oil, crispy-topped fruit dessert ready in 20 minutes. Use ripe peaches and simple ingredients for a sweet, juicy treat.

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes. This skips the need for a separate oven.

Peaches soften in the air fryer’s heat while the topping crisps, creating a contrast in every bite.

The crisp topping stays golden without oil, and the fruit stays juicy inside.

About the Ingredients

2 cups (250g) peeled and sliced peaches

Ripe peaches are best, but canned or frozen work if fresh isn’t available. Use apples or pears as substitutes.

1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour

This holds the topping together. Substitute with almond flour for a gluten-free version.

1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

Adjust to taste. Use maple syrup or coconut sugar for a different flavor.

2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted

Melted butter helps the topping bind. Use oil or vegan butter if preferred.

1 teaspoon baking powder

Helps the topping rise. Skip if you want a flatter crust.

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Adds warmth. Use nutmeg or allspice if cinnamon isn’t on hand.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer

Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it run for 15 minutes. This ensures the crust bakes evenly without burning.

2. Prepare the fruit layer

Toss sliced peaches with 1 tablespoon sugar in a bowl. Spread them in the air fryer basket or a lined pan. The sugar helps draw out juices.

3. Make the topping

In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and stir until crumbly. This forms the crisp layer.

4. Combine layers

Pour the peach mixture into the basket, then scatter the topping over it. Press gently to ensure it sticks to the fruit.

5. Cook and check

Cook for 12-15 minutes. Lift the edge halfway through to check if the topping is golden and the fruit is tender.

6. Let it rest

Remove and let sit 5 minutes. This lets the cobbler set and makes it easier to serve.

Pro Tips

1

Preheat the air fryer with the basket inside. It ensures even cooking from start to finish.
2

Mix the topping just before adding. Overmixing makes it dense and less crisp.
3

Use a non-stick pan to spread the fruit evenly. It prevents hot spots.
4

Adjust time by 2-3 minutes if your air fryer runs hotter than others.

How to Store Air Fryer Desserts

Refrigerator

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Cool completely first.

Freezer

Freeze in a sealed container for 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.

Reheating

Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes. It restores the crispiness.

Delicious Variations

  • Blueberry cobbler with a honey-sweetened topping
  • Apple cinnamon cobbler with a streusel mix
  • Vegan version using coconut oil and almond flour
