Description
If you like peach pie, you will love this dreamy tropical pie. It has a brighter flavor with the added beauty of this luscious island fruit. This recipe came about after I was gifted with a large bag of mangoes by an anonymous Maui neighbor. I was determined to use every single one of them and by adapting an apple pie recipe, I came up with this delicious pie. Another bonus…..the sweetness of the mangoes reduces the need for added sugar.
Ingredients
- pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie
- 4 cups peeled and sliced mango
- ½ cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie pan with half of the pie pastry. Set aside.
- Combine mango
- sugar
- cornstarch
- lemon juice
- and cinnamon in a bowl; stir until the sugar has dissolved. Transfer mango mixture into the prepared pie pan. Dot the mixture with the butter
- then cover with the top crust. Pinch the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Cut several vents on the top crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling
- about 45 minutes.
