❓Air Fryer Peach Cobbler Q&A
🔸 Q: Can I use canned peaches?
A: Yes! Just drain them well and reduce sugar in the filling slightly, as canned peaches are often already sweetened.
🔸 Q: Can I use frozen peaches?
A: Absolutely. Thaw and drain excess liquid, or add an extra ½ tsp of cornstarch to help thicken the juices.
🔸 Q: Do I need to peel fresh peaches?
A: It’s optional. Peeling gives a smoother texture, but leaving the skins on is quicker and still delicious.
🔸 Q: What kind of dish should I use in the air fryer?
A: Use an oven-safe dish that fits in your air fryer basket—ceramic, glass, metal, or silicone. About 6 inches round works best.
🔸 Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: Yes, but only if you have a larger air fryer or bake in batches. A larger batch needs more time—add 3–5 minutes and check doneness.
🔸 Q: How do I know when it’s done?
A: The topping should be golden and firm, and the peach filling should be bubbling at the edges. A toothpick inserted in the topping should come out clean.
🔸 Q: How long will leftovers last?
A: Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 325°F for 5–7 minutes for best results.
🔸 Q: Can I make this vegan or dairy-free?
A: Yes!
-
Use a plant-based milk (like almond, soy, or oat)
-
Swap in vegan butter or coconut oil
🔸 Q: Can I use other fruits?
A: Definitely! Try mixed berries, nectarines, apples (pre-cooked a bit), or mango.
