2 egg whites
1 tablespoon water
¼ cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup crisp rice cereal

¼ cup cornstarch
oil for misting or cooking spray

Directions :

1. Preheat air fryer to 390 ° F.
2. Beat together egg whites and water in a shallow dish.
3. In a food processor, combine the almonds, brown sugar, and almond extract. Process until ingredients combine well and the nuts are finely chopped.

5. Cut each peach into eighths and place in a plastic bag or container with lid. Add cornstarch, seal, and shake to coat.
