I'm a big fan of peach cobbler (especially when peaches are at their best in early summer) and this is a quick and simple way to make it. Just cook until the filing is nice and bubbly and the topping is browned. Be sure to scoop some vanilla ice cream over the top, too!
Add the peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt to a mixing bowl and stir gently to coat the peaches in the sugar and spices.
Divide the peaches evenly between 4 6-ounce ramekins.
To make the topping:
Add the flour, sugar, and baking powder to a small bowl and stir to combine.
Add the cubed butter to the bowl and use a fork or pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture, forming coarse crumbs. Add the hot water and stir to form a thick dough.
Use your hands to crumble the dough evenly over the top of each ramekin.
To cook:
Preheat the air fryer to 330 degrees for 5 minutes.
Place the ramekins in the air fryer and cook for 13 minutes, checking at the 10 minute mark to make sure they aren’t browning too quickly. If the top is getting too brown, cover loosely with foil and continue cooking.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, if desired.
Notes
Every air fryer cooks differently and you’re really just going for a golden brown top with bubbly juices. Adjust the time as needed to get a browned topping with tender peaches.You can use fresh or frozen peaches here. If you start with frozen, let them thaw first for the best results. If using canned peaches, omit the sugar from the filling. I divide this out into 4 portions, but if you like a bigger dessert, you can easily reduce it down to 3 for bigger portions.
