Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Peach Filling
- 2 cups sliced peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned – drained)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
For the Cobbler Batter
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Topping:
- Scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
🕒 Total time: 15 minutes | Serves: 2–3
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch until the fruit is evenly coated.
If using canned peaches, reduce sugar slightly, they’re already sweet!
Step 2: Make the Batter
In another bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
The texture should be pourable but slightly thick, like pancake batter.
Step 3: Layer It Up
- Lightly grease two 6-ounce ramekins (or one small baking dish).
- Spoon half the batter evenly between them.
- Add the peach mixture on top.
- Drizzle the remaining batter over the fruit, don’t worry if it doesn’t fully cover; that creates the “cobbler” effect.
Step 4: Air Fry to Perfection
- Temperature: 350°F (175°C)
- Time: 10–12 minutes
- Check halfway: If the top browns too fast, cover loosely with foil.
Cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and the peach filling bubbles around the edges.
Step 5: Cool Slightly & Serve
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving, this helps the filling thicken slightly.
Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the full Southern comfort experience.
LunaChef’s Tips for Best Results
- Frozen Peaches: Thaw first and drain to avoid excess liquid.
- Extra Crisp Top: Add a sprinkle of coarse sugar before air frying.
- Make It Nutty: Mix in chopped pecans or almonds to the batter.
- Single Serve Idea: Bake in individual ramekins for portion control and perfect presentation.
Flavor Variations
- Cinnamon Roll Cobbler: Add mini cinnamon roll pieces to the top layer before air frying.
- Bourbon Peach Cobbler: Add 1 teaspoon bourbon to the peach filling for depth.
- Mixed Berry Cobbler: Swap half the peaches for raspberries or blueberries.
- Maple Oat Topping: Sprinkle oats tossed in maple syrup over the top for a cozy fall twist.
Storage & Reheating
To Store:
Cool completely, then refrigerate covered for up to 3 days.
To Reheat:
Air fry at 320°F for 3–4 minutes until warm and crisp again.
Avoid microwaving, it softens the crust.
