Peach Crisp Recipe
Each and every bite of peach crisp with canned peaches and crunchy topping is bursting with irresistible tart and sweet flavors.

My cherry dump cake is just as easy to put together, but it takes longer to bake — and you’ll need to turn on the oven.
My simple butter cake with peach sauce is tasty too.
Instead, why not try some of my other air fryer dessert recipes like crispy oatmeal cookies or peanut butter s’mores? Both are ready in minutes with very little prep!
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Peaches – This canned peaches dessert can be made with fresh fruit as well, but I wouldn’t recommend using frozen.
For canned, choose the kind in 100% juice, not syrup. Fresh peaches should be firm with some give when you squeeze them and free of any dents or bruising. - Cornstarch – Arrowroot powder or instant tapioca are great alternatives and will help the peach crisp thicken just as well.
- Brown Sugar – The added caramel flavor really complements the fruit in this peach crisp recipe, much better than regular granulated sugar would.
- Cinnamon – If you prefer more warmth and spice, make your air fryer peach crisp with allspice or pumpkin pie spice instead.
Tips for Making Peach Crisp with Canned Peaches
- Drain the fruit. While you want 100% juice liquid for flavor, you don’t want it in the actual air fryer peach crisp.
The peach slices will have just enough coating on the surface to cook into a thick sauce. - Grease your pans. As your peach crisp cooks, the sugars in the fruit will want to burn and stick to the edges.
You can avoid this by liberally coating the pans with butter or cooking spray. - Save some effort. Toss the crumb topping ingredients into a food processor and pulse until combined.
The final results should have a sandy texture with large chunks throughout.
Peach Crisp FAQ
While both start with a sweetened fruit base, they have completely different toppings.
Cobblers started out more like a pie, but rounds of biscuit dough or cake batter are dropped by the spoonful to create a thick, fluffy top layer. It looks a bit like a cobbled road when baked, which is where the name comes from!
Instead, crisps and crumbles have a topping made from a simple mixture of butter, sugar, and something to bind them together such as flour or oats.
It starts out “crumbly” and then “crisps” when baked to form a crunchy topping that contrasts the tender fruit.
No. Because of the limited space in the air fryer, you will need to cook each peach crisp separately.
It’s also possible to halve the recipe, but you will need to carefully measure the peaches — especially if you are using canned.
Absolutely! This peach crisp recipe is pretty flexible, as long as the total amount of fruit remains the same.
Replace a peach slice or two with a small handful of raspberries or halved blackberries, then add the crumble topping.
Storing and Reheating Air Fryer Peach Crisp
Allow the peach crisp to cool completely, then cover tightly with foil or transfer to a sealed container. Keep at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
I wouldn’t recommend freezing once it’s been made because the topping will become soggy.
You can, however, freeze peach crisp with canned peaches before baking for up to 3 months. Then, pop it right in the air fryer and increase the time so the center is cooked through.
Enjoy!
