You'll Need

Here are some ingredient notes to keep in mind:

• Peaches: Choose ripe, but firm peaches that are not too soft or bruised. Look for peaches that have a sweet aroma.
• Cinnamon: Use ground cinnamon for the cinnamon butter. You can adjust the amount according to your taste preference.
• Butter: Use unsalted butter. You can also use a non-dairy butter substitute if preferred.
• Brown sugar: Brown sugar adds a caramel flavor to the cinnamon butter. You can use light or dark brown sugar depending on your preference.
• Honey, optional
• Vanilla: It will complement the cinnamon and add a delicious aroma and flavor to the butter.
• Salt: It helps to balance the sweetness and enhance the flavors. Start with a small amount (such as ⅛ teaspoon).
• Optional: You can add a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, or a scoop of ice cream on top of the peaches for extra flavor and texture.

How to Make Air Fryer Peaches

• To prepare the Air Fryer for baking the peaches, preheat it to 350°F. Meanwhile, combine the butter, cinnamon, sugar, honey, vanilla, and salt in a small bowl to make the delicious cinnamon butter.

• Slice the peaches in half and extract the pits. Then, brush with oil the exposed side of the peaches. Put them in the air fryer basket with the skin facing downwards, and cook for 5 minutes. Once the 5 minutes are up, place a spoonful of butter mixture onto the center of each peach half. Proceed to air fry for an extra 5 to 6 minutes, or until the top of the peaches are caramelized.

• Remove the peaches from the air fryer and serve immediately. 

Serving Suggestion

Air fryer peaches can be a delicious dessert or snack. Here are some serving suggestions:

• Top with Greek yogurt: Add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top for a creamy contrast to the juicy sweetness of the fruit.
• Drizzle with honey: For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle honey over the air fried peaches before serving.
• Serve with granola: Sprinkle some granola on top for a crunchy texture and added flavor.
• Add ice cream: Top the warm peaches with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
• Make a parfait: Layer the peaches with Greek yogurt and granola to create a healthy and delicious parfait.
• Add chopped nuts: Sprinkle some chopped nuts on top for added crunch and flavor.

Storage

• To store air fryer peaches, allow them to cool down to room temperature first. Then, transfer to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. Place the container or bag in the refrigerator and store for up to 3 days. If you want to keep the peaches for a longer period, you can also freeze them.
• To freeze, place the cooled peaches in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. Then, transfer the frozen peaches to a freezer-safe container or bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
