Ingredients
Scale
For the filling:
- 4–5 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 4 cups)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp lemon or lime juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
For the crumble topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Optional add-ins: Shredded coconut, chopped pecans, or macadamia nuts.
Instructions
- Preheat: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the filling: In a bowl, toss diced mangoes with sugar, lemon/lime juice, and cornstarch. Transfer to a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Make the topping: In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter until coarse, sandy crumbs form.
- Assemble: Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the mango filling.
- Bake: 30–35 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool & serve: Let cool slightly; serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Fruit choice: Fresh, frozen (thawed/drained), or canned mangoes all work. Overripe mangoes are ideal.
- Brightness: A squeeze of lime juice enhances tropical flavor.
- Texture: Add chopped nuts or shredded coconut for extra crunch.
- Thickening: Don’t skip cornstarch—it’s key for a jammy filling.
- Mango–Pineapple variation: Swap half the mango with pineapple; sprinkle coconut on top.
- Quick hack: Short on time? Use granola as a topping and bake until crisp.
- Dried mango: Rehydrate 15–20 minutes in warm water; chop and mix with fresh fruit for chew.
- Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat at 325°F for 10–15 minutes to re-crisp. Freeze portions up to 2 months; thaw in fridge, then warm before serving.
- Avoid: Underripe fruit (bland), skipping cornstarch (runny), or overbaking (burnt topping).
- Cook Time: 30–35 minutes
