How To Make Easy Air Fryer Peaches With Brown Sugar and Cinnamon

Step 1: Preheat your air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F for 3-5 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined, then set aside.

Step 2: Slice each peach in half and remove the pit using a sharp knife. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.

Step 3: Arrange the peaches cut-side down in the air fryer basket. Set air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F and set cook time for 8-10 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.

Step 4: Gently open the air fryer and flip the peaches using a large spoon. Top each peach with a spoonful of the butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture, then air fry for 3–5 more minutes until the tops are golden and caramelized.

Easy Air Fryer Peaches With Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Recipe Tips

• Choose firm peaches: Slightly firm peaches hold their shape better while cooking.
• Brush with oil: Lightly brushing the cut sides with olive oil prevents sticking and helps caramelize.
• Check doneness early: Air fryers vary; start checking at 8 minutes to avoid over-softening.
• Even caramelization: Flip peaches halfway and add the butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture for a perfectly golden top.
• Serve warm: These peaches taste best straight from the air fryer, but they can be enjoyed slightly cooled too.
• Pair it up: Delicious on their own or with ice cream, yogurt, or oatmeal.
• Make ahead: Prep the butter-sugar-cinnamon mix in advance to save time on busy days.

Storing and Reheating Instructions

• Storing: Store cooked air fryer peaches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep them chilled until ready to serve.
• Freezing: Place cooled peaches in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
• Reheating: Warm peaches in the air fryer at 325°F for 2–3 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave for 20–30 seconds, though they may be slightly softer.
