Description

This Easy Air Fryer Peach Pie recipe offers a delightful twist on a classic dessert, using ripe peaches and a flaky pie crust cooked quickly in the air fryer. The juicy peach filling is thickened with cornstarch and flavored with cinnamon, lemon juice, almond, and vanilla extracts. Perfectly sealed in golden pockets, these individual peach pies are sprinkled with raw sugar for a crunchy finish and make a delicious treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 thawed pie crust (refrigerated prepared pie crust)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
  • 1 egg and 1 tablespoon milk (beaten, for egg wash)

Peach Filling

  • 5 ripe peaches
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Topping

  • 1-2 tablespoons raw sugar (turbinado or demerara sugar for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Wash and dry the peaches thoroughly. Peel the skin, remove the pits, and dice the peaches into small cubes. Place the diced peaches in a medium bowl with the granulated sugar, cover, and refrigerate for about an hour to allow the juices to release.
  2. Make the Filling Syrup: Drain the juice from the peaches into a heavy-bottom saucepan. Whisk in the cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt until well combined.
  3. Cook the Filling: Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring continuously until it starts simmering and thickens into a syrup, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the basket or tray with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Prepare the Pie Dough: Remove the thawed pie crust from the refrigerator and unroll it on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into four equal sections by slicing once horizontally and once vertically.
  6. Assemble the Pies: Brush each dough section with the egg wash using a pastry brush. Spoon one to one-and-a-half tablespoons of the peach filling onto one half of each section.
  7. Seal the Pies: Fold each dough piece over the filling to form a pocket. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal each pie pocket securely.
  8. Air Fry the Pies: Brush the tops of the sealed pies with more egg wash. Place them carefully in the air fryer basket or tray. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the crust is golden and cooked through.
  9. Finish and Serve: Remove the pies from the air fryer and immediately sprinkle the tops with raw sugar for added crunch and sweetness. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Peeling peaches can be made easier by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transferring to ice water before peeling.
  • If the peach filling seems too watery after refrigeration, drain excess juice before thickening with the cornstarch mixture.
  • You can substitute almond extract with almond-flavored liqueur for a stronger flavor.
  • Use a reliable air fryer model that can maintain an even temperature for best results.
  • These mini pies are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
