How to Make Air Fryer Peach Cobbler

For frozen peaches, allow them to thaw and drain any excess liquid.
2. Make the Peach Filling

Gently stir until the peaches are evenly coated.
3. Prepare the Cobbler Topping
In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add softened or melted butter and milk.

4. Add Everything to a Baking Dish
Lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish that fits inside your air fryer.
Add the peach mixture to the bottom.
Spoon the cobbler batter evenly over the peaches.
Don’t worry if some peach filling remains visible. The topping will spread and puff as it cooks. For related planning, see 2-ingredient puff pastry air fryer beignets.

Place the baking dish in the air fryer basket.

If the top starts browning too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil and continue cooking.

Carefully remove the dish from the air fryer and let the cobbler rest for about 5 to 10 minutes.
The peach filling will continue to thicken as it cools slightly.
Serve warm.
How Long Do You Cook Peach Cobbler in an Air Fryer?
Air fryer peach cobbler usually takes about 18 to 25 minutes at 330°F.
The exact time depends on the size and depth of your baking dish, the amount of filling, and your air fryer.
The topping should be golden brown and cooked through, while the peach filling should be bubbling around the edges.
What Temperature Do You Cook Peach Cobbler in an Air Fryer?
A temperature of 330°F works well for peach cobbler.
A moderate temperature allows the peach filling to become hot and syrupy while giving the topping enough time to cook without becoming too dark.
Can You Use Canned Peaches?
Yes. Canned peaches are one of the easiest options for air fryer peach cobbler.
Drain the peaches well before adding them to the filling. If the canned peaches are packed in heavy syrup, you may also want to reduce the amount of added sugar.
Can You Use Frozen Peaches?
Yes. Frozen peaches work well when fresh peaches aren’t available.
Thaw them first and drain excess liquid. Extra moisture can make the cobbler filling thinner and may increase the cooking time.
Can You Use Fresh Peaches?
Fresh peaches are an excellent choice when they’re ripe and in season.
Choose peaches that are fragrant and slightly soft when gently pressed. Slice them evenly so they cook at the same rate.
Tips for the Best Air Fryer Peach Cobbler
Use a small baking dish. Choose an oven-safe dish that fits comfortably inside your air fryer.
Don’t overfill the dish. Leave enough room for the filling to bubble without overflowing.
Drain canned or thawed peaches well. Excess liquid can make the filling too runny.
Don’t overmix the topping. Mix just until the ingredients come together for a tender texture.
Watch the topping. Air fryers can brown the top quickly. Cover loosely with foil if needed.
Let it rest before serving. This gives the peach filling time to thicken.
Serve it warm. Peach cobbler is especially delicious while still warm.
How Do You Know When Air Fryer Peach Cobbler Is Done?
