Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh peach slices are amazing, but canned peaches work well too! If you choose canned, look for those in juice rather than syrup. You can also substitute with other fruits like blueberries or apples for a twist.
Butter: I love using real butter for that rich flavor, but you can use coconut oil or a plant-based butter if you’re dairy-free. Just melt it before adding to your mixture.
Flour: All-purpose flour is standard, but you can swap for whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend if you need. Just keep in mind that the texture may change slightly.
Milk: Regular milk adds creaminess, but almond milk, oat milk, or any other milk alternative can easily be used! Just ensure it’s unsweetened to avoid extra sugar.
How Do I Get the Best Results from My Air Fryer?
To achieve a perfectly baked cobbler, checking the cooking time is crucial. Air fryers can vary in temperature, so it’s good to keep an eye on your dessert as it cooks. Here are some steps for successful air frying:
- Preheat your air fryer for even cooking.
- Use a small, oven-safe dish that fits comfortably in your air fryer.
- Don’t stir the cobbler after adding the peaches; this helps maintain that delicious topping.
- Check the cobbler at the 15-minute mark, but don’t open the fryer door until then for even heat distribution.
With these tips, you’ll be serving up warm peach cobbler in no time! Enjoy with a scoop of ice cream for a special treat.

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful peach cobbler takes about 5 minutes to prep and another 15-18 minutes to cook in the air fryer. In total, you’ll be enjoying your dessert in about 25 minutes!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Air Fryer:
Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This will help ensure your cobbler cooks evenly and thoroughly.
2. Prepare the Peaches:
If you’re using fresh peaches, slice them up! If you’re using canned peaches, drain them and consider adding a touch of sugar for extra sweetness. Toss whichever you’re using in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon if you’re using it. Make sure everything is well combined.
4. Combine with Wet Ingredients:
Pour the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
5. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Lightly grease a small baking dish that fits comfortably in your air fryer (about 6 inches in diameter should work). This will help prevent sticking.
6. Assemble the Cobbler:
Pour the batter into the greased baking dish. Then, spoon the prepared peaches evenly on top of the batter—don’t stir them in!
7. Air Fry the Cobbler:
Carefully place the baking dish in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the batter has set.
8. Let It Cool:
Once your cobbler is done baking, remove it from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes. This helps set up the texture.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
Dish it out warm and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you like! Enjoy your deliciously quick and easy air fryer peach cobbler!
