Enjoy a delicious and simple dessert with these Air Fryer Peaches. Softened and caramelized peaches topped with a cinnamon-spiced butter mixture, this quick treat is perfect for serving warm with ice cream. Ready in just 15 minutes and easy to prepare, it combines the natural sweetness of peaches with a rich, buttery topping for a delightful finale to any meal.

Ingredients

Peaches

  • 4 medium peaches, halved

Butter Mixture

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (skip if using salted butter)

Additional

  • Baking or cooking spray
  • Ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Butter: Allow butter to sit out at room temperature for about an hour, so it softens properly, ensuring easy mixing and smooth spreading later.
  2. Preheat Air Fryer and Prepare Peaches: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits carefully, preparing them for air frying.
  3. Initial Air Fry: Place the peaches cut side down on an air fryer tray or basket. Lightly spray with cooking oil or baking spray to prevent sticking and promote caramelization. Air fry for 3-5 minutes until the peaches begin to soften and their skins start to loosen.
  4. Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well to create a flavorful topping for the peaches.
  5. Add Butter Mixture and Finish Air Frying: Remove the peaches from the air fryer after initial softening. Turn the peaches cut side up and place them back into the tray or basket. Evenly spread the butter mixture over each peach half. Return to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, allowing the mixture to caramelize beautifully on top.
  6. Serve: Serve the air-fried peaches hot, accompanied by your favorite ice cream and an optional sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and garnish. Enjoy this warm, decadent dessert immediately.
  7. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or air fryer before serving again. Freezing is not recommended as it may affect texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Using unsalted butter allows better control over the saltiness, but if salted butter is used, omit adding kosher salt.
  • If peaches are very ripe and sweet, adjust the brown sugar quantity to taste to avoid excess sweetness.
  • For best results, ensure the butter is fully softened before mixing to achieve a smooth topping.
  • This recipe pairs wonderfully with vanilla or cinnamon ice cream, but feel free to use your preferred flavors.
  • Do not freeze leftover peaches as it negatively impacts their texture and flavor.
