Grilled peaches are such a summertime treat – but sometimes you don’t want to heat up the grill just for a couple of peaches! Now you can make grilled peaches in your air fryer!! They’re ready in minutes and just as delicious (even if your peaches aren’t quite ripe!)
I head to the farmers market every week and grab fresh veggies and fruit – my typical grab is corn, peaches, tomatoes and maybe a melon or some green beans.
What do Grilled Peaches taste like?
Um – magic! Seriously – they are melt in your mouth delicious! It’s like the filling in peach cobbler or peach pie without the crust. They’re juicy and sweet with a little buttery crunch – yum!
Ingredients for Air Fryer Grilled Peaches
You just need a few ingredients for this delicious dessert:
- Peaches – the best thing about this recipes is you can use those peaches that aren’t ripe yet! This transforms them into the perfect sweet peaches you love!
- Graham Cracker Crumbs – I have a box of the crumbs but you can crumble your own too
- Butter
- Brown Sugar – you could use honey as well
- Vanilla Ice Cream or Whipped Cream
How to make Grilled Peaches in the air fryer?
It’s ridiculously easy – as are most air fryer desserts!
- With a sharp knife, quarter or halve the peaches and remove the pit.
- Place your peaches in the air fryer basket skin side UP. I like to put them on parchment paper to catch the brown sugar as it melts
- Air fry at 350º for 5 minutes.
- While they are cooking, in a small bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and brown sugar.
- After 5 minutes, flip your peaches and put skin side DOWN and top each with a spoonful of the butter mixture.
- Air fry at 350º for 5 min more.
- Scoop the peaches out and top with your favorite ice cream or whipped cream!
Variations for Air Fryer Peaches
- Dairy Free – Ditch the butter and ice cream and drizzle with honey, Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Other Fruits – you can easily swap peaches with plums, apricots and nectarines
- Get Nutty – finely chop peanuts or pecans and add to the brown sugar
Do Grilled Peaches need to be ripe?
Nope – the peaches have enough sweetness in them and the air frying softens and perks them up – making them perfect. I would probably use peaches that a little UNDER ripe! And if you didn’t know – peaches are ripe when they give a little if you squeeze them.
Can you freeze Grilled Peaches?
No – I wouldn’t. They’re going to get super mushy after freezing them. I also can’t imagine having any left!
Can you reheat Grilled Peaches?
Sure – you can reheat these – since they’re already cooked – I would just microwave them for 45 seconds or so.
Can you use canned peaches for Grilled Peaches?
No – I wouldn’t. Canned peaches are already ripe and they would get too mushy in the air fryer.
What to serve with Grilled Peaches?
Grilled peaches are great on their own and this recipe tends to have a little sauce that runs off the peaches onto the parchment. I carefully remove the parchment and pour the sauce over the peaches. They go great with whipped cream of vanilla ice cream.

Turned out pretty good! Next time I think I will put them in a round baking pan, and make them almost like a pie instead of putting them on parchment paper.
Linda Hardbarger says
like you’d bake rolls in a metal pan?
Barb Ferguson says
I have no problem freezing peaches. Just cut in slices and put in plastic freezer bag and freeze. Taste just like fresh when thawed.

I made these tonight for the first time – my family all said if I don’t make this again, they’ll disown me. I subbed granola for the graham crackers because I am a terrible shopper and forgot them, but it still turned out incredibly delicious. My oldest daughter asked for the recipe and she never does that. Excellent!
FoodHussy says
That’s awesome – I’m so glad you loved them! I have air fryer baked apples coming – so stay tuned! They’re equally delicious!
Anne says
This was a delicious and quite simple recipe. I especially love the graham crackers on top. I will certainly make this again.
FoodHussy says
I’m glad you liked it!!!!
Joan says
I was so disappointed with the results. I’ve never had any problems with my Instant Pot Air Fryer, but this recipe just didn’t work. I ended up trying to get my peaches to cook for about 45 minutes, but they stayed hard and tough. I used an oatmeal topping – and it turned out great ! I might try again using apples.
FoodHussy says
Sorry about that – peaches need to be semi-ripe. If they’re a little under ripe – the air fryer can compensate for that but not seriously underripe ones.
Paul Kostandin says
I love roasted/grilled peaches, but you are absolutely correct, sometimes it’s not worth lighting the grill just for a few peacehes. I’m going to give this recipe a try just as soon as I can get my hands on some decent local peaches!
Bob says
This post is confusing. Are they grilled peaches or air fried peaches? They can’t be both because a grill doesn’t give off the same taste as air fryer does….
FoodHussy says
Oh Bob…you think too much. Yes – they’re air fryer. it’s the “idea” of grilled peaches but in the air fryer and they’re delicious!
April says
Super delicious. I made this with granola instead of Graham crackers because that’s all I had on hand. I had read on another comment that it worked for them so I had to try it too. The end result was great! Even my son and husband loved it and they are super picky. Thanks for a great recipe.

Can you sub nectarines for peaches? This looks so yum, I cant’ wait to try it!
FoodHussy says
of course – they’re smaller but it’ll still work!
Patty Varick says
Just a mote–I’ve grilled peaches then frozen them! Eaten them months later and OMG soo good! And not mushy at all..
P.s. I added. Alittle bit of a sprinkle of brn sugar when freezing…
Kate says
I made this with keto granola in place of the graham crackers and swerve brown sugar replacement and it was phenomenal! The whole snack only had 12 net carbs that way! We will make this again all summer!
Gina says
OMGoodness this is so easy and so tasty! No graham crackers so used some strawberry granola and added casa rondena’s chocolate Cabernet wine sauce! Oh so good! Thank you but I wanna know how do you get all that tasty sauce out of the bowl without drinking it lol
