Air fryer peach cobbler is an easy, flavorful dessert that highlights fresh peaches with a buttery cobbler topping. It’s perfect served warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Peach season brings sweet, juicy fruit that needs little enhancement. I enjoy peaches plain, but they’re also irresistible in a cobbler—especially when topped with cold ice cream. To avoid heating the whole kitchen in summer, this version cooks in the air fryer for a fast, delicious dessert that’s great for two when made in ramekins. You can easily multiply the quantities for more servings.
Ingredients
- Peaches – about 2 large or 3 small (1 cup diced)
- Brown sugar
- Cornstarch
- Ground cinnamon
- Almond extract (or vanilla extract)
- Butter (melted)
- All-purpose flour
- White sugar
- Baking powder
How to make air fryer peach cobbler
Peel (optional), pit, and dice the peaches into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
Add brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and almond extract. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated.
Divide the peach mixture between two small ramekins. You can lightly spray the ramekins with cooking spray if you prefer, but the fruit generally won’t stick.
In a separate bowl, melt the butter. Add the flour, sugar, and baking powder, then stir until fully combined into a coarse batter.
Spoon the cobbler topping evenly over the peaches.
Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Carefully remove the hot ramekins from the air fryer with potholders and allow them to cool briefly before serving.
Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or mint if desired. Enjoy!
How to customize
Make the recipe your own with a few simple swaps:
- Replace almond extract with vanilla if you prefer.
- Use less cinnamon and add a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, fall-inspired flavor.
- For a different texture, top the peaches with an oat-based crisp instead of the cobbler batter.
What to serve with the air fried peach cobbler
This cobbler pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. If you enjoy a fresh-herb contrast, basil or mint complement peaches nicely. The dessert also works well after a light summer meal.
Recipe notes
- Two large peaches or three small peaches will yield about 1 cup diced fruit for this recipe.
- Peels are optional; they soften during cooking but can be removed if preferred.
- Watch the tops as they cook to avoid burning—aim for a golden brown finish.
- The recipe is easy to double or triple for more servings.
- Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for 1–2 days and reheat in the oven or air fryer.
