How To Make Air Fryer Peach Pie
Step One: Wash and dry the peaches thoroughly. Peel the skin from the peaches and slice, removing the pit. Dice into small cubes. In a medium bowl, gently combine the peaches with the granulated sugar. Cover and place into the refrigerator for about an hour to allow the juice to release from the peaches.
Step Two: Drain the juice from the peaches into a heavy-bottom saucepan and whisk in the cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and salt. Ensure the mixture is well combined.
Step Three: Cook over medium-low heat until the mixture starts simmering. Stir continuously and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens into a syrup. Stir in the lemon juice, almond extract, and vanilla extract, and remove from heat. Fold in the peaches.
Step Four: Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting. Spray the basket or tray with cooking oil to prevent the pie from sticking to the basket/tray.
Step Five: Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator. Unroll the pie crust on a flat, lightly floured surface. Then cut the pie dough once in half horizontally and once in half vertically.
Step Six: Use a pastry brush to coat pie dough in egg wash liberally. Scoop one to one and a half tablespoons of the homemade peach pie filling into one of the dough sections.
Step Seven: Fold one side over the other, making a pocket shape, and press the ends together with a fork to seal. Repeat this for all of the dough sections.
Step Eight: Brush the tops of the pies with egg wash using a pastry brush, and place them into the air fryer basket or tray. Set cook time for 10 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking process. Remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with the raw turbinado or demerara sugar.
Air Fryer Peach Pie Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh or Canned Peaches: For the best flavor, fresh, ripe peaches are ideal, but canned peaches can also work if fresh ones are unavailable. Just make sure to drain them well to avoid excess liquid.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheating your air fryer ensures an even cook and crisp crust. This small step can make a big difference in achieving that perfect golden finish.
- Avoid Overfilling: Be sure not to overstuff the pie pockets with filling. A heaping tablespoon is usually enough to ensure the filling stays inside during cooking without spilling out.
- Brush with Egg Wash: For a beautiful, golden crust, brush the top of each pie with an egg wash before cooking. This will give them that perfect shine and color.
- Turn Halfway Through: Make sure to turn the pies halfway through the cooking process for even browning on both sides.
- Sprinkle Sugar on Top: After cooking, lightly sprinkle raw sugar (like turbinado or demerara) on top for a sweet, crunchy finish that adds a delightful texture.
- Cool Before Serving: Let the pies cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and prevent burns from hot peach syrup.
- Customize with Spices: Feel free to adjust the spices! Adding a dash of nutmeg or ginger can give your peach pie a unique twist.
Storing
- Storing: Once cooled, store your peach pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week.
- Freezing: To freeze, place the cooled peach pies in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months for future enjoyment.
- Reheating in Air Fryer: To reheat, preheat your air fryer to 350°F, then place the pies in the basket for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through. This will restore the crispiness of the crust while warming the filling.
