Mango pie is a delicious dessert that features mango as its primary ingredient. It is similar to other fruit pies, like apple or cherry pie, but it's made with a filling composed of ripe mangoes. Here's a simple recipe for a mango pie:
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 4-5 tablespoons ice water
For the mango filling:
- 4-5 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste based on the sweetness of the mangoes)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to enhance the flavor and prevent browning)
For the topping:
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions:
Prepare the crust:
a. In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. b. Add the cold butter cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. c. Slowly add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough starts to come together. d. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
Place the rolled-out crust in the pie dish and trim any excess. You can crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
Prepare the mango filling: a. In a bowl, combine the sliced mangoes, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon (if using), and lemon juice. Toss to coat the mango slices evenly.
Pour the mango filling into the pie crust.
Make the topping: a. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats and brown sugar. b. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle the oat topping over the mango filling.
Bake the mango pie in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool before serving. It's best served at room temperature or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Mango pie is a delightful dessert that celebrates the sweet and tropical flavor of mangoes. It's perfect for summer or any time you're craving a fruity, homemade pie. Enjoy!
