- Sugar: Enhances the natural sweetness of the peaches, helping to create a syrupy filling as they cook.
- Flour or Cornstarch: Acts as a thickening agent, ensuring the peach juices form a nice, thick syrup during cooking.
- Ground Cinnamon: Adds a warm, spiced flavor to the peaches, complementing their sweetness.
- Nutmeg (Optional): Introduces a hint of earthy spice, adding complexity to the flavor profile.
- Old-Fashioned Oats: Offers a chewy texture and a nutty flavor when baked.

How to Make Peach Crisp In Air Fryer
Cooking Peach Crisp in an air fryer is a quick and delicious way to enjoy this classic dessert. Here’s a simple guide on how to do it:
Prepare the Filling: Mix the sliced peaches in a medium bowl with granulated sugar, all-purpose flour or cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Ensure the peaches are well coated.
Make the Crisp Topping: Combine the oats, brown sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt in another bowl. Mix until all the oats are moistened, and the mixture clumps together.
Assemble the Peach Crisp: Spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray, and then transfer the peach mixture into an air fryer-safe pan, baking pan, or baking dish that fits in your air fryer basket. Evenly sprinkle the topping mixture over the top of the peaches.
Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F (175°C) if it requires preheating. Set Cook time for 15-20 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly. The exact time might vary depending on your air fryer model.
Check for Doneness: Check the crisp around the 15-minute mark. If the topping isn’t quite golden brown, air fry for an additional 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Serving: Remove the peach crisp from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes. This allows the filling to set a bit and the topping to crisp up further. Enjoy your peach crisp and warm, perhaps with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Air Fryer Peach Crisp Recipe FAQ’s
What dish should I use in the air fryer for peach crisp? Use an air fryer-safe dish, like a ceramic or metal baking dish, that fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket. Make sure there’s enough room around the edges for air circulation.
Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh? Yes, both canned and frozen peaches can be used. If using frozen, let them thaw and drain any excess liquid to avoid a soggy crisp. Drain the syrup and reduce the added sugar for canned peaches since they are often pre-sweetened.
How do I know when the peach crisp is done cooking in the air fryer? The peach crisp is done with a golden-brown topping, and the peach filling is bubbly. Cooking times can vary depending on your air fryer model, so check a few minutes before the suggested cooking time ends.
Can I make the peach crisp ahead of time? While peach crisp is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp up the topping before serving.
How can I prevent the topping from burning? If you notice the topping browning too quickly, you can place a piece of foil loosely over the top. Also, use a moderate temperature and closely monitor the cooking process.
Is it necessary to peel the peaches for the crisp? Peeling peaches is a matter of personal preference. The skin softens during cooking, but peeled peaches will give a smoother texture to the filling.
