Easy Air Fryer Cinnamon Peaches

Okay, people, gather ’round, because today we’re talking about Easy Air Fryer Cinnamon Peaches. You know those days when you want something warm, sweet, and comforting, but also want to avoid setting off the smoke detector or doing more than three dishes? Yeah, those days. This recipe is basically a hug for your soul that requires minimal effort and zero judgment. Seriously, if you can press a button on an air fryer, you can make this. And if you can’t, well, that’s a different problem entirely that we might need to discuss over a very strong cup of coffee.

My husband, bless his heart, once tried to ‘help’ by pre-heating the air fryer with the peaches already *in* it. Result? Slightly burnt, very sad peaches, and a kitchen smelling faintly of desperation. He then insisted they were ‘caramelized’ and ate them anyway, probably to spite me. The kids, meanwhile, just wanted ice cream on *everything*, so the slightly crispy edges didn’t bother them one bit. Honestly, my biggest fail was trusting him with the pre-heat button. It’s fine, we all have our moments. Just don’t tell him I wrote about it, or he’ll claim it was a ‘culinary experiment’ for next time.

Time-Saving Hacks

– Don’t even bother washing the bowl you tossed the peaches in if you’re making a second batch. We call that “seasoning.”
– No parchment paper? No problem. A light spray of oil in the basket works just as well, and you can pretend you’re living on the edge.
– Peeling peaches is for people with too much time or a severe texture aversion. Just leave the skin on; it adds “rustic charm” and fiber. Bonus!
– Use a pre-mixed cinnamon sugar blend. Why create work for yourself? We’re not competing on a cooking show here.

Serving Ideas

– A scoop of vanilla ice cream because, hello, balance.
– A dollop of whipped cream (from a can, obviously, we’re not martyrs here).
– Serve it with coffee for a slightly less guilty breakfast, or with wine if the kids drove you nuts all day. No judgment, just good choices.
– Honestly, sometimes I just eat them straight out of the air fryer basket with a fork. Don’t tell my mother.

What to Serve It With

✔Tips & Mistakes

Don’t overcrowd the basket: Unless you enjoy soggy peaches, give them some space. We want crispy edges, not a peach pile-up.
Check for ripeness: Super firm peaches will take longer and won’t be as sweet. Squishy ones will turn to mush. Aim for that perfect give.
Adjust sweetness: Taste your peaches first. If they’re super sweet, cut back on the sugar. If they taste like disappointment, add more. It’s all about balance, baby.
Grease the basket: Even if your air fryer claims to be non-stick, a little spray ensures no peach left behind.

✔Storage Tips

Store it in the fridge… if there’s any left. Cold midnight leftovers? Sometimes better than fresh.

✔Variations and Substitutions

Swap whatever you want—sugar ↔ honey, soy sauce ↔ tamari, or skip steps and call it “deconstructed.” It still counts.
