This Air Fryer Peaches recipe is a quick and delightful way to enjoy juicy peaches with a buttery, cinnamon-scented topping. Air frying caramelizes the brown sugar and makes the peaches tender, creating a perfect warm dessert or snack that pairs wonderfully with granola or toasted pecans and creamy vanilla Greek yogurt.

  • Total Time: 17-20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Peaches

  • 2 medium ripe peaches, halved and pitted

Butter Mixture

  • 2 Tbsp butter, room temperature
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp vanilla bean paste
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings and Serving

  • Granola or chopped toasted pecans (for topping)
  • Vanilla Greek yogurt (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prep the peaches: Wash and dry the peaches thoroughly, then cut each peach in half and carefully remove the pits.
  2. Add to air fryer: Place the peach halves cut side down into a paper liner fitted inside the air fryer basket to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  3. Air fry the peaches: Cook the peaches in the air fryer at 350℉ for 5 minutes to start softening them gently.
  4. Combine the butter mixture: While peaches are air frying, mix together the room temperature butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until well combined.
  5. Top peaches with butter mixture: Carefully flip the peaches cut side up and evenly spread the butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture over each peach half.
  6. Finish air frying: Return the peaches to the air fryer and cook for an additional 7 to 10 minutes at 350℉, until peaches are tender and slightly caramelized.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove peaches from the air fryer, top with granola or chopped toasted pecans for added texture, and serve warm with a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt or ice cream for a creamy contrast.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and tenderness.
  • Adjust air frying time based on your air fryer model and peach size.
  • Substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic option.
  • Vanilla bean paste can be replaced with vanilla extract if unavailable.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, melty texture and flavors.
