Air Fryer Peaches

Ingredients List:

– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 3 tablespoons brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
– ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
– ⅛ teaspoon salt
– 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt, for serving

Cooking Instructions :

1. Preheat and Prep:Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures your peaches will cook evenly and develop that perfect caramelization.

2. Butter Bliss: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well-blended.

3. Perfect Peaches:Cut the ripe peaches in half and carefully remove the pits. Brush the cut sides generously with olive oil. This helps to prevent sticking and adds a slight crispness.

4. Air Fry Magic: Place the peaches skin side down in the preheated air fryer. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the peaches to begin softening and releasing their natural juices.

5. Sweet Center: After the initial cooking, add a spoonful of the butter mixture into the center of each peach half. The heat will melt the mixture, creating a luscious filling.

6. Finish Caramelizing:Continue to air fry the peaches for an additional 5-6 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the tops are beautifully caramelized and the peaches are tender.

7. Serve and Enjoy:Carefully remove the peaches from the air fryer. Serve them immediately, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt. For an extra touch, sprinkle with granola, drizzle with honey, and add a dash of cinnamon.

Tips and Notes:

– Ensure the peaches are ripe but firm to prevent them from becoming too mushy.
– For a vegan option, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
– You can prepare the butter mixture in advance and store it in the fridge for up to a week.

Substitutions and Variations:

– Fruit Swap:Try this recipe with nectarines or plums for a different flavor profile.
– Spice Twist:Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the butter mixture for a unique twist.
– Healthier Option:Use coconut oil instead of butter for a healthier fat option.
