Storing Leftover Air Fryer Peaches

Refrigerate: You will want to refrigerate any peaches in an airtight container. Then store for 2-3 days. Eat the leftovers cold or warm them up in the microwave or oven.

Freeze: now you can freeze the peaches, but know they will be softer once you thaw them out from being frozen. You can freeze the peaches for 1-2 months. Then reheat from frozen or thaw in the fridge overnight.

Tips For Success

• I highly recommend reaching for ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture. Underripe peaches will lack in flavor and texture. 
• Aim to slice the peaches in half so they are both similar in size. This is going to help ensure the peaches air fry up evenly. 
• Spread the topping evenly over the top of the peaches so you get an even coating. 
• These air-fried peaches are best served warm and fresh from the air fryer. 
• Place skin side down on the air fryer basket, so the open flesh part of the peach halves is facing upward. You can line it with parchment paper to prevent the spillage of the bubble over.
