What can I serve these peaches with?

The brown sugar topping makes these perfect on their own, but you can also add a whipped topping or ice cream. It's perfect for customizing with dairy and non dairy products. You could also use a sprinkling of granola for a different texture to this easy summer dessert.

Can I make these ahead of time?

These are best served warm immediately after cooking. However, if you do have leftovers, they will still taste great. They will just likely fall apart when you reheat. But that makes them perfect to put on u003cemu003etopu003c/emu003e of ice cream!

Can I use the outdoor grill for peaches?

Yes! If you prefer to use a grill instead of an air fryer, just follow the instructions but cook over medium heat or at about 350 degrees F.

Air Fryer "Grilled" Peaches with Brown Sugar

Ingredients

Units Scale

4 peaches, cut in half with the pits removed
1/4 cup loosely packed brown sugar or coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, ghee, or vegan butter, softened
Whipped cream, ice cream, or dairy-free ice cream (optional, for topping)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Place the peach halves inside your air fryer basket with the cut side down. Set the temperature to 350°F for 6 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter. Stir gently to combine.
When the peaches are done cooking for the first 6 minutes, open the basket. Use tongs to turn the peaches over so the cut side is facing up.
Then, use a spoon to divide the sugar and butter mixture between each of the peach halves.
Close the air fryer basket and cook for an additional 5 minutes at 350°F.
When the peaches are done cooking, they will have softened and started to caramelize slightly.
Use tongs to transfer the peaches to a serving tray or plate. Top with whipped cream or ice cream (optional), and serve warm.

Notes

You can use yellow or white peaches in this recipe. Yellow peaches tend to be a little bit more acidic and “peach” flavored, while yellow peaches tend to be sweeter with a mellower peach flavor.
You can use an air fryer liner to help prevent any extra filling from falling through the air fryer basket, but it’s not necessary.
Try not to use peaches that are overly ripe as they will be too mushy to cut cleanly in half. You can use peaches that have just ripened as they will be the easiest to cut in half. You can tell whether a peach is ripe or not by pressing gently on the skin. For this recipe, the peaches should just be slightly soft.
This recipe is best made right before you want to serve it. Store any leftover peaches in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Enjoy any leftovers cold or at room temperature (as opposed to re-heating).
Some air fryers need to be preheated. Be sure to read the manufacturer’s guide for your specific air fryer model to determine if it needs to be preheated.
