Ingredients:
For the Pie Filling:- 2 cups fresh or frozen peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 medium peaches)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mangoes, peeled and diced (about 2 medium mangoes)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2-4 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pie Crust:- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter pieces. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Water: Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. You may need more or less water, so add just enough to make the dough hold together without being too wet.
- Chill Dough: Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook Fruit: In a medium saucepan, combine peaches, mangoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the chilled dough to fit your pie dish. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess.
- Add Filling: Pour the cooled fruit filling into the pie crust.
- Top Crust: Roll out the remaining dough to cover the pie. You can use the full crust or cut it into strips for a lattice top. If using a full crust, cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Seal and Trim: Trim any excess dough from the edges and crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top with milk or cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Bake: Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool: Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. This will help the filling set properly.
- Serve the pie warm or at room temperature. It’s delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
