Ingredients

For the Peach Filling

  • 4 cups sliced peaches (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt

For the Cobbler Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Serving

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Caramel sauce (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling

In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated.

Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes so the peaches release some of their natural juices.

Step 2: Make the Cobbler Topping

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.

Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 3: Assemble

Lightly grease an air fryer-safe baking dish or ramekin.

Spread the peach mixture evenly into the dish.

Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough over the peaches. It doesn’t need to completely cover the fruit—small gaps allow the peaches to bubble through beautifully.

Step 4: Air Fry

Preheat the air fryer to 330°F (165°C).

Place the baking dish into the air fryer basket.

Cook for 18–22 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.

If the top begins browning too quickly, loosely cover it with foil during the last few minutes.

Step 5: Cool Slightly

Carefully remove the cobbler from the air fryer and let it rest for 5–10 minutes.

The filling will naturally thicken as it cools.

Step 6: Serve

Spoon the warm cobbler into bowls.

Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

For extra indulgence, drizzle with warm caramel sauce before serving.

Tips

  • Fresh ripe peaches provide the best flavor, but canned or frozen peaches work perfectly too.
  • Drain canned peaches well before using.
  • If using frozen peaches, thaw and pat them dry first.
  • Don’t overmix the topping or it may become dense.
  • A sprinkle of coarse sugar on top before air frying creates an extra crispy crust.

Variations

  • Add fresh blueberries or raspberries.
  • Mix chopped pecans into the topping.
  • Use peach pie spice instead of cinnamon.
  • Add a pinch of ginger for extra warmth.
  • Substitute nectarines for peaches.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat individual portions in the air fryer at 320°F (160°C) for 3–5 minutes or microwave until warm.

Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use canned peaches?

Yes. Drain them well before mixing with the other filling ingredients.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes. Substitute a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.

Why is my filling runny?

The cobbler needs to cool for several minutes after cooking so the cornstarch can fully thicken the peach juices.
