Peaches: Fresh and ripe peaches are the star of this dish, offering juicy sweetness and a burst of summer flavor.
Avocado Oil or Olive Oil: Coats the peaches before grilling, helping to prevent sticking and adding a subtle richness to the fruit.
Butter: Adds richness and depth of flavor when melted over the grilled peaches, enhancing their natural sweetness.
Brown Sugar: Sprinkled over the peaches before grilling, brown sugar caramelizes to create a sweet glaze that enhances flavor.
Ground Cinnamon: Provides warm, aromatic notes to the grilled peaches, complementing their sweetness and adding a touch of spice to the dish.

How To Make Peaches In the Air Fryer

Here are the step-by-step directions for this easy air fryer peaches recipe.

Step 1: Preparation

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F on the air fryer setting. Preheat for 3-5 minutes. In a small bowl, combine butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 2: Oil Peaches

With a sharp knife, halve and pit each peach. Brush the cut sides with olive oil.

Step 3: Air Fry Peaches Face Down

Place the peaches face down in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350 degrees F on the air fryer setting for 8-10 minutes.

Step 4: Flip and Fill

Carefully open the air fryer and flip the peaches using a large spoon. Place a spoonful of the butter mixture in each peach. Air fry peaches for an additional 3-5 minutes or until they begin to caramelize on top.

What Do Air-Fried Peaches Taste Like?

Have you ever had a piece of peach pie where the gooey pie filling had plenty of spices? Fried peaches remind me of that. It is a rich, sweet, and delicious dessert — so easy to make!

Do Grilled Peaches Need to Be Ripe?

For best results, you want a firm, soft peach. Otherwise, your air-fried peaches will be mushy. If you use an extra ripe peach, you will notice that it will tend to smoke more since it releases more sugar. So, look for a peach on the cusp of being ripe but not already ripe when you air fry peaches. White peaches are perfect for this recipe!

What kind of peaches are best for Air Frying?

When you make fried peaches, I suggest choosing a firm yellow variety. For the best peaches, I recommend using fresh peaches, although you can use canned peaches. Ripe peaches will be too tender to cook, and the natural sugars will burn more easily.

What is a Serving Size?

Plan for one-half a peach per person. It is a fruit — so I won’t judge if you indulge in more than that!

How Do I Store Leftovers?

If you have leftover fried peaches, you can store them in an airtight container and reheat them. Consume within 3 days. However, it would help not to freeze leftovers after cooking peaches in the air fryer. Once thawed and reheated, they will become mushy and mealy.

Are They Grilled? Are They Fried?

This recipe for air-fried peaches is an easy way to recreate the flavor of grilled peaches without firing up the grill. The results are delicious! The sweet peach flavor intensifies when heated and is perfectly balanced by the rich cinnamon.

Can I Substitute the Peaches?

Yes! You can follow this recipe for peaches in the air fryer using any variety of stone fruit. Try nectarines, plums, or apricots—even apples!

What to Serve with Grilled Peaches?

My favorite toppings include vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, melted butter, caramel, graham cracker crumbs, pecans, or fresh mint leaves.
