Hola, summer. Which means an abundance of fruit some of which make their way into fruit crisps of every variety – you seriously can crisp anything. Pear crisp, apple crips, peach crisp and my current fave, this Air Fryer Cherry Crisp.

Yeap, you heard that right, easy Cherry Crisp cooked up in the Air Fryer. Made with just 5 simple ingredients!!

What’s even better is that this is much easier than regular Cherry crisp, because of the easy peasy granola topping. No having to roll together oats, flour and butter and then hope that you don’t end up with a soggy topping. Nope, no soggy toppings here. close up view of air fryer cherry crisp served in a ceramic bowl

We start with an easy already-made granola and end with as just as crispy of a topping. The secret to this is adding the granola topping during the last few moments of cooking. Simply delicious!

  • This recipe calls for vegan and gluten free granola.
  • Make sure the cherries do not burn so they don’t get bitter.
