Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Canned peaches work great for this recipe because they’re convenient. However, if you have fresh peaches, you can slice about 1.5 cups. Just remember to add lemon juice to keep them bright and flavorful!
Granulated Sugar: The recipe calls for sugar to sweeten both the peaches and the batter. If you’d like a healthier option, you can use honey or maple syrup. Just adjust the amount based on your taste!
Baking Powder: This is crucial for making your cobbler light and fluffy. If you’re out, you can substitute with baking soda and a bit of vinegar. Use 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with a splash of vinegar for a quick fix.
Milk: Any kind works! Whole, almond, or oat milk can all be used. If you’re dairy-free, go for almond or oat milk for a great taste.
How Do I Ensure Even Cooking in an Air Fryer?
The air fryer is fantastic for baking, but to get the best results, make sure to follow these tips:
- Preheat the air fryer: This helps achieve that golden crust faster.
- Don’t overcrowd: Ensure the baking dish fits snugly in the basket without touching the sides, allowing hot air to circulate around it.
- Check for doneness: Use a toothpick to check the batter. It should come out clean when the cobbler is ready.
- Let it rest: Give it a few minutes to cool after cooking. This helps set the texture.
Enjoy making your Easy Air Fryer Peach Cobbler! It’s a quick treat that’s sure to please.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Air Fryer:
Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This step is important for getting the perfect golden topping on your cobbler.
2. Prepare the Peach Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice if you’re using fresh peaches. Stir everything together until the peaches are well coated, then set the bowl aside.
3. Make the Cobbler Batter:
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Then, pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until everything is just combined; don’t worry if there are a few lumps – that’s okay!

FAQ About Easy Air Fryer Peach Cobbler
Can I Use Fresh Peaches Instead of Canned?
Absolutely! If you prefer fresh peaches, slice about 1.5 cups and add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to enhance their flavor. Just be sure to adjust the sweetness to your taste since fresh peaches may be less sweet than canned ones.
Can I Make This Recipe in Advance?
Yes, you can prepare the peach filling and batter ahead of time, but it’s best to assemble and cook it fresh when you’re ready to serve. If necessary, store the fillings in the refrigerator for up to a day. Just remember to bring the mixture to room temperature before cooking!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore its crispy topping or in the microwave for a quicker option.
Can I Substitute the Sugar with a Sweetener?
Yes! You can use a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Just follow the conversion instructions on the package, as different sweeteners have different sweetness levels.
