Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh peaches are fantastic for this recipe, but if they’re out of season, canned peaches work perfectly too. Just be sure to drain them well to avoid extra liquid.
Self-Rising Flour: If you don’t have self-rising flour, mix all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a 1/4 teaspoon of salt. You’ll get the same fluffy texture!
Sugar: Both granulated sugar and brown sugar are used for sweetness. If you’re looking to cut sugar, consider using a sugar substitute or coconut sugar instead.
Milk: Whole milk gives a rich flavor, but any milk (like almond or soy milk) will also work well. Each will add a slightly different taste.
How Do You Get the Cobbler Batter to Rise Perfectly?
Getting that perfect rise is all about the batter and the technique. Remember, don’t stir the peaches into the batter! Instead, place them on top so they mix naturally as it cooks.
- First, preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This is key for even cooking.
- When mixing, ensure your batter is smooth but don’t over-mix — this keeps it fluffy.
- As it cooks, the batter will rise and create a delightful crust around the peaches.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when it’s ready!

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare and around 18-22 minutes of cooking time in the air fryer. Overall, you can have a warm and delicious peach cobbler ready in about 30-35 minutes. It’s perfect for a quick and delightful dessert!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This helps cook the cobbler evenly and gives it that golden color!
2. Prepare the Peaches:
In a medium bowl, mix the sliced peaches with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. This allows the peaches to macerate and soak up the flavors. Set this mix aside for a few minutes.
3. Make the Batter:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined. Then, stir in the milk, melted butter, and optional vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
4. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Lightly grease a small air fryer-safe baking dish that fits in your air fryer basket. This will help prevent sticking and make serving easier!
5. Layer the Batter and Peaches:
Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly. Next, carefully spoon the peach mixture over the top of the batter. Avoid stirring; the batter will rise around the peaches as it cooks.
6. Air Fry the Cobbler:
Place the baking dish in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for about 18-22 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve:
Once cooked, carefully remove the cobbler from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
Enjoy your warm, comforting Easy Air Fryer Peach Cobbler! It’s a delightful way to enjoy summer peaches any time of the year.
