I grew up picking peaches at the peach patch. This summer, my parents kept my girls for a week and took them to pick peaches at the peach patch also – their maiden voyage!

My girls came back home with bags of peaches, and I knew just the recipe to make. I’ve experimented with grocery store peaches in the air fryer, and I’ve made roasted peaches in the oven. But this was the first time I knew the exact type of peaches I was using my air fryer peaches recipe. The peaches used in this recipe are Majestic peaches. I have also made this recipe with the Red Globe peaches my parents get from their local peach patch. However, other varieties of peaches should work.

Why We Love Air Fryer Desserts

Sometimes in summer, it isn’t practical to crank up the grill when you don’t have multiple things to grill. The same with the oven. Some people feel using the oven on a hot summer day makes the air conditioner have to work harder to keep the house cool.

Enter the air fryer!

We all know I love a good air fryer dessert. I mean my air fryer blueberry fried pies are off the chain! And if you haven’t tried them to verify my claim, you should definitely add that to your agenda for the week.

I’m a big fan of using vanilla ice cream on air fryer peaches. I mean peaches and cream is a thing for a reason, right? The flavor combination of peaches and vanilla ice cream is perfection.

My husband prefers his ice cream scoop go to the side of his roasted or baked peach. This is because the warm roasted peach melts the ice cream really fast when the ice cream is on top. This is typical with any a la mode type of dessert. For me, I am fine with the ice cream melting. I like my peaches a la mode with the ice cream scoop on top.

Making Air Fryer Roasted Peaches in Advance for Easy Dessert

If you’ve grilled peaches or made roasted peaches in the oven, the concept is very similar with these peaches in the air fryer. You will get a bit of caramelization near the edges with the tangy-sweet flavor on the inside of the peaches.

What I really like about air fryer peaches (or baked peaches or grilled peaches) is that you can make them in advance. You can make them the night before or the afternoon of your dinner. Store them in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. When ready to serve, pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until they are warm. Immediately top with the ice cream and a sprinkling of graham cracker crumbs or granola.

Equipment

1 air fryer

Ingredients

2 Peaches fresh, with skin left on
1 tbsp Cinnamon
Olive oil spray Or vegetable oil cooking spray like Pam
1 tbsp Butter
2 cups Ice cream Vanilla
2 tbsp Graham cracker crumbs optional, for garnish

Instructions

Set air fryer to 350 degrees and preheat while you prep the peaches (about 3 minutes).
Cut peaches in half, removing the pits.
Lightly spray tops and bottoms with cooking spray.
Sprinkle cut sides of peaches with cinnamon.
Place in the air fryer with the cut sides facing up and cook for 4 minutes.
Using tongs or a fork, flip peaches over so that cut sides face down and cook for 4 more minutes.
Flip peaches again so the cut sides face up and add 1/4 tablespoon of butter to the pit. Sprinkle butter with a dash of cinnamon.
Cook 4 minutes longer or until peaches are soft.
*To serve, top soft peaches with vanilla ice cream and garnish with graham cracker crumbs or other garnish of your choice.

Notes

*The ice cream will melt quickly once placed on top of the warm roasted peaches. If you don’t want the ice cream to melt quite as quickly, place the scoop of ice cream right up next to the peach rather than on top.
