• Peaches: Fresh peaches bring natural sweetness and juiciness; choose ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.
• 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.
• Brown Sugar: Contributes a rich, molasses-like sweetness and helps create a crunchy texture.

• Kosher Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the crisp.

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 Tips

• Choose the Right Peaches: Use ripe but firm peaches.
• Pre-Treatment of Peaches: Toss them in lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
• The thickness of Peach Slices: Slice your peaches evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
• Seasoning the Filling: Don’t be afraid to experiment with spices in your peach filling.
• Creating the Perfect Crisp Topping: The ratio of butter to dry ingredients in your topping is key.
• Cooking Time and Temperature: Adjust the cooking time and temperature based on your air fryer model. Check for doneness towards the end of the cooking time to prevent burning. The crisp is done when the peaches are bubbly, and the topping is golden brown.
• Let it Rest: Allow the peach crisp to cool for a few minutes after cooking.
• Serving: Serve your peach crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
• Storage: If you have leftovers, let them cool to room temperature, store them in an airtight container, place them in the refrigerator, and reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to bring back the crispness of the toppings.

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.
