Recipe Ingredients
- Peaches (Halved and Pitted): Provide a natural sweetness and juicy texture which, when air-fried, intensifies to create a delightful caramelized flavor.
- Brown Sugar or Brown Sugar Substitute: Enhances the natural sweetness of the peaches, while also adding a rich, molasses-like flavor that pairs perfectly with the fruit.
- Ground Cinnamon: Infuses the peaches with its warm, slightly spicy flavor, creating a wonderful contrast to the sweetness and adding depth to the overall taste.
- Butter (Room Temperature): Adds a creamy, rich dimension to the dish and also helps in caramelizing the sugar on the peaches.
Variations
- Canned Peaches: if you don't have access to fresh peaches or it's not stone fruit season, use canned peaches. Wash them and pat dry first and then place in a pan. The peaches will taste almost like a crustless peach pie/peach cobbler.
Substitutions
- Coconut Oil: Use coconut oil instead of butter to coat the peaches. Slightly under ripe peaches cook well when coated with a little oil.
