How to Make Air Fryer Peach Cobbler

Pro Tips for Peach Cobbler
- Drain the peaches well to prevent a watery cobbler.
- Check the cobbler during the last few minutes of cooking since air fryer models vary.
- If the cookie topping browns too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil.
- Use cinnamon sugar cookie dough for extra flavor if available.
- Allow the cobbler to rest before serving so the filling can thicken.
- For a richer dessert, add a pinch of nutmeg to the peach filling.
- Use a shallow baking dish for more even cooking.
Storage
Store leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To reheat, place a serving in the air fryer at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 to 5 minutes or microwave until warmed through.
While the cobbler can be frozen, the texture of the sugar cookie topping may soften slightly after thawing. For best results, enjoy within a few days of making it.
