Air Fryer Peach Pie
Description
Air fryer peach pie with fresh peaches and a flaky double crust, baked in a 6- or 7-inch pan. A pre-thickened filling gives clean slices with no soggy bottom.
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts, thawed
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon turbinado, or demerara sugar, optional
Peach filling
- 5 medium ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and diced (about 4 cups)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Toss the diced peaches with the granulated sugar. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
- Drain the juice into a heavy-bottomed saucepan, reserving the peaches. Whisk in the cornstarch, cinnamon and salt until smooth.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until simmering. Stir 2 to 3 minutes more until thick and glossy. Off the heat, stir in the lemon juice, almond extract and vanilla. Fold in the peaches and cool completely.
- Press one crust into a 6- or 7-inch air fryer-safe pie pan, leaving the overhang. Optional: par-bake at 300°F for 5 minutes and cool briefly.
- Add the cooled filling. Top with the second crust trimmed about 1 inch wider than the pan. Fold the edges under, crimp with a fork, and cut 4 vents.
- Whisk the egg and milk and brush over the top. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar if using.
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F. Set the pie in the basket on a foil sling and air fry 20 to 25 minutes, until deep golden and bubbling through the vents. Shield the edges with foil at the halfway point if they brown too fast.
- Cool at least 1 hour before slicing.
Equipment
- 6- or 7-inch pie pan
- Aluminum Foil
- Pastry Brush
Notes
- Canned peaches: use about 3 cups, well drained; skip the chill, cut sugar to ⅓ cup, and add 2 to 3 tablespoons liquid to the saucepan.
- Cook times vary by model; start checking at 18 minutes.
