Air Fryer Peaches are halved, buttered, and dusted with cinnamon brown sugar, then cooked cut-side down at 350°F for just 8 minutes total until caramelized.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Select ripe peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure; underripe fruit won't caramelize or soften fully in 8 minutes.
Brush butter on the flesh side only before adding the cinnamon-sugar mix to ensure even browning and prevent the skin from burning.
Flip peaches at exactly the 4-minute mark so the sugar caramelizes on both the flesh and the exterior skin.
Serve immediately while the caramelized sugar is still warm and slightly crispy; the contrast with cold whipped cream is key.

Substitutions

Butter → coconut oil or ghee (same amount, similar caramelization)
Whipped topping → Greek yogurt or sour cream (tangier flavor profile)
Walnuts → pecans, sliced almonds, or chopped hazelnuts (texture remains the same)
Monk fruit brown sugar → regular brown sugar (use 2 teaspoons, identical results)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the air fryer at 300°F for 2–3 minutes to restore warmth.

Common Questions

How do I know when air fryer peaches are done?

After flipping at the 4-minute mark, cook for another 4 minutes at 350°F. The flesh should be tender and the edges caramelized. They'll soften further as they cool slightly.

Can I use frozen peaches?

Fresh, ripe peaches work best for this recipe. Frozen peaches release more liquid and may not caramelize as well; thaw and drain thoroughly if using.

What can I use instead of monk fruit brown sugar?

Regular brown sugar works perfectly and uses the same amount (2 teaspoons). Coconut sugar or regular sugar are also options, though results may vary slightly.

Can I make this ahead?

Cook the peaches fresh for best texture and caramelization. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days and reheat gently in the air fryer at 300°F for 2–3 minutes.
