A quick and easy dessert featuring warm, juicy peaches topped with a crispy crumble, cooked in the air fryer and served with creamy vanilla bean ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • Pinch of salt
  • Vanilla bean ice cream, for serving
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 3 medium peaches into thin wedges. Toss with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter or forks to blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  3. Lightly grease ramekins or silicone cups. Spoon peach mixture evenly into each cup, including syrupy juices. Sprinkle crumble topping over peaches, pressing lightly to help it stick.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place filled cups in basket with space between for air circulation. Cook for 12-15 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly. Check at 10 minutes if air fryer runs hot.
  5. Let cups cool for 5 minutes to set filling. Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream before serving.

Notes

If topping browns too fast, cover cups loosely with foil halfway through cooking. Avoid overfilling cups with peaches to prevent sogginess. For baking, use 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes. Use cold butter for best crumble texture. Frozen peaches should be thawed and drained before use. Vegan and gluten-free substitutions available.
