Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh peaches are delightful, but canned peaches work great too. Choose sliced peaches in juice, not syrup, for a less sugary dish. If peaches aren’t in season, you can use frozen peaches, just make sure to thaw and drain them first.
Self-Rising Flour: This is essential for a fluffy cobbler. If you don’t have any, you can use all-purpose flour combined with baking powder (1 cup flour + 1.5 teaspoons baking powder) and a pinch of salt.
Granulated Sugar: You can adjust the sugar according to your taste. If you want to cut down on sugar, coconut sugar or a sugar substitute like erythritol can work well too.
Butter: Unsalted butter adds richness. If you’re dairy-free, use a non-dairy butter or coconut oil for a similar effect.
How Do I Make the Cobbler Batter Light and Fluffy?
One common challenge is getting the batter just right. To achieve a light texture, mix your ingredients gently. Over-mixing can make the batter tough. Here’s how to ensure a fluffy batter:
- Combine the dry ingredients first, then add milk gradually.
- Whisk until just combined—it’s okay if a few lumps remain!
- Pour the batter over the peach mixture without stirring it into the fruit.
This technique helps keep the topping fluffy while benefiting from the melted butter underneath for a deliciously crispy bottom. Enjoy your cobbler!
Easy Air Fryer Peach Cobbler
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Peach Filling:
- 2 cups sliced fresh or canned peaches (drained if canned)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the Cobbler Batter:
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for batter)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For Serving:
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful cobbler takes about 15 minutes to prepare and 25-30 minutes to cook in the air fryer. Don’t forget to let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Total time is around 45 minutes, with the result being super tasty and satisfying!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Peach Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Gently stir to coat the peaches evenly. This will enhance their natural sweetness and flavor.
2. Make the Cobbler Batter:
In another bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and milk until smooth. You want the batter to be well combined, but not over-mixed—it’s okay if there are a few small lumps!
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
Set your air fryer to preheat at 350°F (175°C).
4. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Lightly grease an air fryer-safe baking dish or round pan (around 6-7 inches in diameter) to prevent sticking.
5. Layer the Ingredients:
Pour the melted butter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Then, spoon the peach mixture evenly over the butter, spreading it out gently. Finally, pour the cobbler batter over the peaches without stirring—it will spread out naturally as it cooks.
6. Air Fry the Cobbler:
Carefully place the baking dish into the air fryer basket. Cook the cobbler at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve:
Once done, remove the cobbler from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, and for an extra treat, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
Enjoy your warm, fruity, and crispy Easy Air Fryer Peach Cobbler! Perfect for any occasion or just because!
FAQ for Easy Air Fryer Peach Cobbler
Can I Use Frozen Peaches Instead of Fresh Ones?
Yes, you can! If using frozen peaches, make sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in the cobbler. This ensures your cobbler stays fluffy and not soggy.
Can I Make This Cobbler Gluten-Free?
Absolutely! To make the cobbler gluten-free, substitute self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Make sure the blend includes xanthan gum for the right texture, or add 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup of flour if it’s not included.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop it in the microwave or return it to the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes until warmed through.
Can I Add Other Fruits to the Cobbler?
Definitely! Feel free to mix in other fruits such as berries, apples, or pears along with the peaches. Just make sure to adjust the sugar slightly if using sweeter fruits.
