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. 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!
Reasons To Love Cherry Crisp
Sweet and juicy summertime cherries. The no-fail crispy granola topping. The hint of almond extract to make this beyond wow. Make-ahead (without the topping) and triple up to serve a crowd. Serve a la mode with ice cream, or top it off with fluffy whipped cream.

How To Make Cherry Crisp In the Air Fryer
Preheat the Air Fryer to 350F / 180C. Mix together cherries, maple syrup, non-dairy butter and almond extract (if using) and add into Air Fryer ready dish.

Air Fryer Cherry Crisp Tips
Remember that air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cook time, check food for doneness then add more time as needed. This recipe calls for vegan and gluten free granola. Make sure the cherries do not burn so they don’t get bitter. You can start with cherry pie filling if you prefer (instead of cherries, maple syrup, butter and almond extract).
