How to Make Air Fryer Peaches with Cinnamon Sugar

FAQs

Fresh is best, but canned (drained) or thawed frozen peaches can work in a pinch.

Do I need to peel the peaches?
Nope! The skin softens beautifully and adds color.

White sugar works fine. Add a bit of molasses if you want that brown sugar flavor.

Can I make these ahead of time?
You can prep and refrigerate, but air fry just before serving.

What air fryer works best for this?
Any basket-style or tray-style air fryer will do. Just avoid overcrowding.
