2 cups sliced peaches (fresh, frozen, or drained canned peaches)
1/4 cup granulated sugar (plus 1 tablespoon for the peaches)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches. Place your sliced peaches in a small bowl. Toss them with one tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Transfer the peaches into a greased air-fryer-safe baking dish or individual ramekins that fit inside your air fryer basket.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients. In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3: Create the Topping. Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir with a fork until a crumbly, wet dough forms. Do not overmix; you want those small buttery clumps for the best texture.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler. Drop spoonfuls of the dough mixture evenly over the top of the peaches. Do not press it down too firmly; leaving some gaps allows the steam from the peaches to escape and helps the topping crisp up.
Step 5: Air Fry to Perfection. Place the dish into the air fryer basket. Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 12 to 15 minutes. Check halfway through; if the top is browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with a small piece of foil. The cobbler is done when the topping is golden brown and the peach juice is bubbling around the edges.
