Whether you're craving something sweet after dinner or want a lighter dessert option, cinnamon peaches in the air fryer are your new best friend. Soft in the center, crisp on top, and ready in minutes—this is what I make when I need dessert fast but still want it to feel a little fancy.
They also pair perfectly with this Vegan Coconut Chocolate Mousse or a refreshing Mangonada drink.
💖 Why This Recipe Works

- Naturally Sweet: Uses ripe peaches, cinnamon, and just a touch of sugar.

⭐ Star Ingredients
- Ripe Peaches: I go for freestone peaches—they're easy to halve and hold up beautifully in the air fryer without falling apart.

- Ground Cinnamon: The warm, sweet spice that makes these cinnamon peaches absolutely sing.

📖 Substitutions & Variations
- No fresh peaches? Canned peaches work too—just rinse and pat dry before air frying.
- Butter swap: Try coconut oil or dairy-free butter for a vegan version.
- Add crunch: Top with chopped pecans or granola before serving.
- Extra spice: Mix in nutmeg or cardamom for a deeper spiced flavor.
- Sweetener swap: Maple syrup, monk fruit, or coconut sugar all work well.
🔪 How To Make Air Fryer Peaches With Cinnamon
- Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
- Step 2: In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter until combined.
- Step 3: Place the peaches into the air fryer basket with the cut side up. Top each peach with the butter mixture.
- Step 4: Cook the peaches in the air fryer for 7 to 12 minutes until caramelized on top. Serve immediately, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
👩🍳 Expert Tip – Frozen Treat Hack:
Freeze peach halves ahead of time, then air fry straight from frozen. The cold center and warm caramelized edges create an almost peach cobbler meets sorbet vibe—ideal for hot days or last-minute desserts.
🍑 Air Fryer Peach Cook Times by Ripeness
| Peach Ripeness | Air Fryer Temp | Cook Time |
|---|---|---|
| Slightly Underripe | 350°F | 10–12 minutes |
| Ripe but Firm | 350°F | 8–10 minutes |
| Very Ripe (soft) | 340°F | 6–8 minutes (watch closely!) |
💡Tip: Softer peaches cook fast! Reduce time and check halfway to avoid over-softening.
👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Choose the right peaches: Freestone varieties are best—they're easy to pit and hold up well.
- Cold butter or soft? Use softened butter so it melts easily and doesn't slide off during cooking.
- Want grill marks? Air fry cut-side down for the first 5 minutes, then flip.
