Equipment

  • Digital air fryer with basket Large enough to fit four peach halves without crowding
  • Perforated Air Fryer Parchment Liners Optional but recommended for easy cleanup
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Silicone pastry brush
  • Silicone-tipped kitchen tongs
  • Small Spoon or Paring Knife For removing pits

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large ripe peaches halved and pitted, ripe but still slightly firm
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • salt pinch
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans for topping

For Serving

  • vanilla ice cream for serving
  • 2 tablespoons salted caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Wash peaches and pat dry. Slice each in half from top to bottom, twist to separate, and remove the pit with a small spoon or paring knife.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir into a smooth paste.
  • Line the air fryer basket with a perforated parchment liner. Arrange peach halves cut side up in a single layer, leaving space between each.
  • Spread the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over the cut surface of each peach half, pooling slightly in the center where the pit was.
  • Air fry at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes until topping is bubbling and lightly browned and peaches are fork tender but still holding shape.
  • During the last 2 minutes, sprinkle chopped pecans over the peaches to toast lightly. Carefully transfer to a serving plate with silicone tongs.
  • Top each warm peach half with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with salted caramel sauce, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose peaches that give slightly to gentle pressure but are not soft or bruised for the best texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the basket — air needs to circulate around each half for proper caramelization.
  • Check for doneness a minute or two early the first time you make this, since air fryer models vary.
  • Pat the peaches dry before adding the topping so the butter mixture sticks properly.
  • Use a liner or light spray of oil in the basket to prevent sticking.
  • Let the peaches rest for a minute or two after cooking — the topping thickens slightly as it cools.
  • Swap pecans for chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, or even granola in the last minute of cooking.
  • Store cooled peaches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes.
  • Fresh peaches work best — frozen or canned release too much liquid and turn mushy.
