Air Fryer Peach Crisp with Oat Almond Topping

This warm, comforting dessert combines tender, caramelized peaches with a golden, crunchy topping made from gluten-free oats and almond flour. The air fryer creates the perfect texture contrast - soft, juicy peaches beneath a crispy, cinnamon-spiced crumble. Ready in just 15 minutes, this naturally sweetened treat makes an ideal ending to summer meals or a cozy fall dessert. The combination of coconut oil, maple syrup, and coconut sugar creates a rich, nutty flavor that complements the natural sweetness of fresh peaches without overwhelming their delicate taste.

FAQ

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, but thaw and pat dry first. Frozen peaches may release more moisture and need an extra 2-3 minutes cooking time.

What if I don't have an air fryer?

Bake in a preheated 375F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until peaches are tender and topping is golden brown.

How long will this keep in the refrigerator?

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness.
