Description
A delightful Air Fryer Peach Crisp dessert with a crispy topping and sweet peach filling.
Ingredients
- 1 large or 2 small peaches, sliced (300 grams yield)
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (32 grams)
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Start by slicing the peaches and removing the pits. Ensure that the peaches are ripe for maximum sweetness. Be cautious not to cut them too small to avoid mushiness during cooking.
- Mix the Filling: Combine the sliced peaches with 1 tsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp light brown sugar. The mixture should become sticky, thickening the filling and preventing it from becoming soupy in the air fryer. Adjust the amount of sugar according to your sweetness preference.
- Create the Topping: In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and 2 tbsp softened butter until crumbly. The topping should appear chunky for the best texture.
- Layer the Crisp: In an oven-safe ramekin, place the peach filling at the bottom and then evenly sprinkle the crumbled topping over it. This presentation ensures even cooking and optimal texture for both layers.
- Air Fry the Crisp: Set your air fryer to 350 degrees F and place your ramekin inside. Keep a close watch, ensuring the topping does not brown too quickly. If it looks dark, you may need to lower the temperature slightly.
- Check for Doneness: After around 15 minutes, check the crisp. The peaches should be tender and bubbly, while the topping turns golden. If extra time is needed, air fry longer, being careful not to overcook the peaches.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the peach crisp to cool for a few minutes after removing it from the air fryer. This resting period lets the juices settle slightly for easier serving. Dish it up warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
Notes
- Storage Tips: Allow leftovers to cool completely, then cover tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for about 5 minutes.
- Expert Tips: If using frozen peaches, expect more liquid in the filling; consider adding extra cornstarch to thicken. Use Lori Anne peaches for the best flavor. Ensure butter is well mixed into dry ingredients to avoid a heavy topping. For tender peaches, air fry for a little longer while checking regularly to avoid overcooking. If the topping burns before the peaches are tender, try lowering the temperature and increasing cooking time.
- Reheating Instructions: Use the air fryer method at 350 degrees F for about 5 minutes.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, a garnish of fresh mint, or alongside a scoop of yogurt for breakfast.
- Recipe Variations: You can add berries to the peach filling or incorporate nuts into the topping. For a different fruit crisp, substitute peaches with apples or pears.
- Ingredient Notes: Select ripe peaches for the best flavor. If necessary, swap all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend for gluten-free variations.

Recipe Tips
- If using frozen peaches, anticipate excess liquid in the filling, so adding a little extra cornstarch can help thicken it up.
- When selecting peaches, Lori Anne peaches provide the best flavor, but any ripe variety will work well.
- If the topping feels too heavy, ensuring your butter is mixed well into the dry ingredients will help create a lighter, crumblier texture.
- For tender peaches, you can always air fry for an additional few minutes, just keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
- If the crisp topping starts to burn before the peaches are fully cooked, trying a lower temperature might help while extending the cooking time.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm alongside vanilla ice cream or yogurt for breakfast. Garnish with fresh mint leaves to add color to the dish.
This peach crisp also works well as a topping for pancakes or waffles. Consider using it in a layered dessert with whipped cream or Greek yogurt.
Drizzle honey or a sugar-free syrup over the peach crisp for added sweetness. A sprinkle of cinnamon can also enhance the flavor profile before serving.
Recipe variations
- You can use 1 large or 2 small apples or pears, sliced instead of peaches to create a different fruit crisp experience.
- Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or 1/4 tsp nutmeg for an additional layer of flavor that complements the fruit wonderfully.
- Either mix in 1/2 cup of blueberries or strawberries with the peaches for a burst of color and taste, or stick with just the peaches.
- If you desire a larger serving, increase peach quantities to 400 grams and adjust brown sugar to 3 tbsp, keeping everything else the same.
