    Air Fryer Peach Crisp

    FacebookTweetPinPrint
    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Air fryer peach crisp is a wonderful combination of flavors from fresh peaches, sweet brown sugar, and golden brown old fashioned oats. If you love peach pie, it's a great way to use ripe peaches, especially during the peach season summer months (and I love making a pear crisp come fall and winter!).

    This peach crisp recipe is the perfect summer dessert and a healthier spin on classic peach cobbler. The best part is the crisp topping made with brown sugar and oats, especially with a scoop of ice cream on top. It's an easy summer dessert the whole family will love!

    • Air Fryer Peach Crisp

    Equipment

    • Air fryer - this delicious air fryer peach crisp obviously will need an air fryer to cook in! You may need to tweak the size of your baking dish depending on how much space your fryer has, either in the air fryer basket or if it's more of a toaster oven style. I love using the air fryer because it takes less time to preheat and cook than the traditional oven!
    • 9x9" pie dish - this is what the peach crisp will bake in. You can use an 8x8" dish as well or portion into individual baking ramekins! If you do individual portions, you may need to shorten the cooking time.
      **Note: if your air fryer won't fit a 9x9" pie dish, you can use individual 3-4" ramekins! Be sure they're oven safe.
    • Large mixing bowl - you can easily use one large bowl to put this entire recipe together! I recommend using a 3-quart bowl.
    • Rubber spatula - this will be perfect to stir the peach mixture and crisp topping. A large spoon will work too!

    Ingredients

    Full ingredients, measurements, and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    For the Oatmeal Crisp Topping

    air fryer peach crisp topping ingredients
    • Old-fashioned oats - these are the bulk of the crunchy topping. I recommend using old fashioned or rolled oats as opposed to steel cut or quick oats, as they may cook differently. Oats will add some fiber to this delicious dessert!
    • White whole wheat flour - I'm a big fan of using white whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour because it has a little bit more fiber and B vitamins than more processed flours.
    • Pecans - chopped pecans add a nice buttery crunch to the topping for this peach crumble. Plus unsaturated fats!
    • Olive oil - I love using olive oil in baking instead of butter, because it's more unsaturated fat like the pecans than butter is. You can use any neutral oil like olive, avocado, or walnut oils! The fat will help the crisp topping turn golden brown and have a nice crunch.
    • Brown sugar - you can't have a peach crisp without brown sugar! Just two Tablespoons in the whole topping. You can use light or dark.
    • Pure maple syrup - maple syrup will add some sweetness in addition to the brown sugar. Be sure to look for real maple syrup (it should just have maple syrup in the ingredients and not corn syrup!).
    • Pure vanilla extract - a staple ingredient in baking!
    • Ground cinnamon - this adds a warm spice to the topping mixture!

    For the Peach Filling

    • Yellow peaches - juicy peaches will make this dessert absolutely fantastic! I have used frozen peaches and it works well too. I would recommend using either frozen or fresh peaches as opposed to canned peaches, just to limit the amount of added sugar in this air fryer peach crisp. Also, fresh and frozen peaches are a better source of vitamin C and some antioxidants compared to canned! White peaches would work well too.
    • Brown sugar + pure maple syrup - a combination of these sugars adds just the right amount of sweetness to this air fryer peach crisp.
    • Pure vanilla extract - vanilla helps to round out all of the flavors in this classic dessert!
    • Ground cinnamon - in addition to the cinnamon in the topping, adding it to the peach filling amplifies the flavor even more.

    How to Make Air Fryer Peach Crisp

    1: In a large mixing bowl, combine all peach filling ingredients and stir until evenly coated. Pour into a prepared 9x9" baking dish and set aside.

    2: In the large bowl used for the peach mixture, combine all crisp topping ingredients and stir until combined. The texture should be clumpy and like wet sand.

    3: Sprinkle the crisp topping mixture evenly over the peach filling.
    **Note: if your air fryer won't fit a 9x9" pie dish, you can use individual 3-4" ramekins! Be sure they're oven safe.

    4: Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or until the top is golden brown and filling bubbly.

    *Let cool for 10 minutes so it's not too hot and serve!

    Variations & Substitutions

    • Depending on the size of your air fryer, it may not fit a large pie dish. You can use individual 3-4" ramekins! Be sure they're oven safe. This recipe should make 4-4" individual portions. You can use any size ramekin that will fit in your air fryer, just be aware the portion yield and nutrition facts below may vary!
    • You can substitute any fresh fruit you'd like for peaches in this recipe! Air fryer apple crisp sounds amazing, especially when it starts to get cooler outside. You could also use berries, pears, or cherries!
    • You can make this into individual servings if you like. Make sure the ramekins are oven-safe! I would bake them for ~20-25 minutes and see if they're golden brown and bubbly.
    • Melted butter could be subbed for olive oil if you prefer a stronger buttery flavor.

    Pro Tips

    • Juicy, tender peaches will yield the best result!
    • I like to sprinkle the crisp topping with my hands (before baking) to evenly spread it over the peaches.
    • I slice the peaches into ~¼" slices for even cooking and ease of serving. You can slice or chop the peaches however you want!

    Make Ahead, Storing, & Serving Instructions

    • MAKING AHEAD: You can absolutely make this air fryer peach crisp recipe ahead of time! Simply pop it back in the air fryer or oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes to reheat it.
    • STORAGE: I recommend either wrapping it tightly with foil or plastic wrap, or transferring to an airtight container and storing in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months! If you freeze it, I definitely recommend putting it in an airtight container.
    • SERVING: Serve this peach crisp warm, fresh out of the air fryer. You can top each portion with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt and extra sliced peaches!

    Recipe FAQ

    Is this air fryer peach crisp gluten-free?

    It is not, because of the white whole wheat flour (and old-fashioned oats may not be gluten-free). You can make it GF though! Be sure to buy gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats and you can substitute oat flour for white whole wheat flour.

    Can you use frozen peaches in air fryer peach crisp?

    Yes! You may need to add 2 teaspoons of cornstarch to the peach filling to absorb some of the excess liquid that may come out of the frozen peaches.

    Do I have to use an air fryer?

    Even though the recipe is called air fryer peach crisp, you can definitely use a regular oven!

    My peaches aren't ripe - how do I ripen them?

    It will take a few days but I always store unripe fruit in a brown paper bag with a few apples to help speed up the ripening process!

    My air fryer won't fit a 9x9" pie dish - what should I use instead?

    Depending on the size of your air fryer, it may not fit a large pie dish. You can use individual 3-4" ramekins! Be sure they're oven safe. This recipe should make 4-4" individual portions. You can use any size ramekin that will fit in your air fryer, just be aware the portion yield and nutrition facts below may vary!
