Recipe Ingredients

• Peaches: The star of this easy peach recipe! Juicy ripe peaches are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They add natural sweetness and a burst of summer flavor to your dish. Feel free to use any other summer stone fruit such as nectarines, plums, or apricots.
• Avocado Oil, Melted Coconut Oil, or Melted Vegan Butter: We use these healthy fats to brush the fruit halves, adding a lovely crisp texture and enhancing the flavors during the air frying process.
• Maple Syrup: A natural liquid sweetener that caramelizes beautifully and complements the fruit’s sweetness without overpowering it.
• Coconut Sugar (or preferred granulated brown sugar): This adds a hint of caramel-like flavor, creating a delicious glaze on the fruit’s surface.
• Cinnamon: The warm and aromatic spice that ties everything together, enhancing the overall taste experience.

Air Fryer Method:

Making baked peaches in the air fryer couldn’t be more simple:

• Cut the Fruit: Halve the peaches or stone fruits, and remove the seeds.
• Preparation: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F if required, and line the basket with a parchment paper liner.
• Coat the Fruit: Place the fruit halves, skin side down, on the parchment paper. Brush them with oil or use coconut oil/avocado oil spray. Drizzle maple syrup evenly over each half, then sprinkle coconut sugar and cinnamon over them.
• Air Fry: The cooking time will vary depending on the fruit type and size:
  • Nectarines and peaches: 10-15 minutes
  • Plums: 5-7 minutes
  • Apricots: 5-7 minutes
• Serve: Once the fruits are softened and caramelized, it’s time to serve them warm. Pair them with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or whipped coconut cream, grain-free granola, or crushed cookies for extra indulgence. Add a mint leaf for a refreshing touch.

Oven Method

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can still make this delicious peach cobbler recipe.

Instructions:

• Cut the Fruit: Halve the peaches or stone fruits, and remove the seeds.
• Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Coat the Fruit: Place the fruit halves on the baking sheet. Brush them with oil or use coconut oil/avocado oil spray. Drizzle maple syrup evenly over each half, then sprinkle coconut sugar and cinnamon over them.
• Bake: The cooking time will vary depending on the fruit type and size:
  • Nectarines and peaches: 25-30 minutes
  • Plums: 15-20 minutes
  • Apricots: 15-20 minutes
• Serve: Once the fruits are softened and caramelized, it’s time to serve them warm, just like the air-fried version. Accompany them with your preferred toppings for a delightful treat.

Tips for Success:

1. Choosing the Perfect Fruit: Opt for ripe but firm peaches or stone fruits to ensure they hold their shape during cooking.
2. Preheating the Air Fryer: Some air fryers require preheating, so check your model’s instructions to see if this step is necessary.
3. Parchment Paper Liner: Using a parchment paper liner prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
4. Even Coating: Ensure that the oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and cinnamon are evenly distributed across the fruit for consistent caramelization.

Variations and Substitutions:

• Experiment with different stone fruits like nectarines, plums, or apricots, depending on what’s in season or your personal preference.
• Instead of maple syrup, try honey or agave syrup for a slight flavor variation.
• Customize the spice profile by adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger along with the cinnamon.

Serving Suggestions:

• Enjoy the air fryer peaches as a light dessert after a summer barbecue or a refreshing treat on a sunny afternoon.
• For a brunch twist, serve the caramelized fruits alongside a stack of fluffy pancakes or waffles.
• Create an elegant dessert platter with a selection of air fryer peaches, nectarines, plums, and apricots, garnished with mint leaves.

Storage and Freezer Instructions:

If you happen to have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in the air fryer or oven before serving to regain their delightful texture.

To freeze the cooked fruit, let them cool completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be frozen for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Can I use frozen fruit for this recipe? While fresh fruit is recommended for the best texture and taste, you can use frozen fruit in a pinch. However, keep in mind that the cooking times may vary, and the texture might be slightly different.
2. Can I use other sweeteners instead of maple syrup? Yes, absolutely! If you prefer a different sweetener, you can use honey, agave syrup, or any other sticky liquid sweetener of your choice.
3. Is it necessary to preheat the air fryer? Some air fryer models require preheating, while others don’t. Check the instruction manual for your specific air fryer to determine if preheating is necessary.
4. Can I make these peaches ahead of time? While it’s best to enjoy the air fryer peaches fresh and warm, you can prepare them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Reheat them in the air fryer or oven before serving.
