Why You Need This Recipe

Fruit desserts like this are usually naturally vegetarian and gluten-free which means this recipe will serve all of the family and guests together. Who wouldn’t want juicy peaches served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream?
You can change things up by adding your favorite ice cream, whipped cream, graham cracker crumbles, granola, or a drizzle of honey to each serving. Use dairy-free ice cream to keep the recipe vegan if you need to.
Using the air fryer is faster than using the grill but gives you the same great flavor.

Key Ingredients

Peaches are the perfect summer fruit. Try to wait until peach season to make this easy summer dessert.

Butter adds a classic cobbler flavor while aiding in browning. Use vegan butter if you are on a dairy-free diet. You can also use coconut oil or olive oil. The small amount of fat is a great way to get the fruit to brown and crisp a bit.

Cinnamon and sugar are the perfect combination. You can use brown sugar or coconut sugar.

Recipe Steps

Step One

Halve ripe peaches and remove the pits using a sharp knife.

Please see the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.

Step Two

Cook the peaches in the air fryer with the cut side down. This starts them cooking through and browns the cut edge.

Step Three

Stir up the remaining ingredients in a small bowl to make the topping.

Step Four

Flip the peaches over and carefully add topping to each well. Air fry until caramelized.

Serve plain or with your choice of ice cream or whipped cream.

Recipe Tips & Substitutions

You can use yellow or white peaches in this recipe. Yellow peaches tend to be a little bit more acidic and “peach” flavored, while yellow peaches tend to be sweeter with a mellower peach flavor.
You can use an air fryer liner or parchment paper with slits cut into it to help prevent any extra filling from falling through the air fryer basket, but it’s not necessary.
Try not to use peaches that are overly ripe as they will be too mushy to cut cleanly in half. You can use peaches that have just ripened as they will be the easiest to cut in half. You can tell whether a peach is ripe or not by pressing gently on the skin. For this recipe, the peaches should just be slightly soft.
This recipe is best made right before you want to serve it. Store any leftover peaches in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Enjoy any leftovers cold or at room temperature (as opposed to re-heating).
Some air fryers need to be preheated. Be sure to read the manufacturer’s guide for your specific air fryer model to determine if it needs to be preheated.

Recipe FAQs

What can I serve these peaches with?

The brown sugar topping makes these perfect on their own, but you can also add a whipped topping or ice cream. It’s perfect for customizing with dairy and non dairy products. You could also use a sprinkling of granola for a different texture to this easy summer dessert.

Can I make these ahead of time?

These are best served warm immediately after cooking. However, if you do have leftovers, they will still taste great. They will just likely fall apart when you reheat. But that makes them perfect to put on top of ice cream!

Can I use the outdoor grill for peaches?

Yes! If you prefer to use a grill instead of an air fryer, just follow the instructions but cook over medium heat or at about 350 degrees F.
