This recipe is my newest attempt to make an amazing Apple Mango Pie.
Slice and peel your mango like above. Also peel, core, and slice you apples.
Grab a large bowl and mix your apple slices and mango pieces together.
Grab the rest of your ingredients: 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 2-3 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp lemon zest, the juice of 1 lemon.
Mix all your dry ingredients together and then mix it in with your fruit. Add your lemon juice and mix thoroughly. Allow to juice for up to half an hour, and while it's juicing, prepare your crumb crust. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Grab your crust and your fruit mix.
Place your fruit mixture in your crust and grab your crumb mixture you prepared earlier.
Crumble your crumbs over your pie. If you feel your pie filling is too liquidy add more crumbs to soak it up. Place in your oven. Ideally you'd do this half way through your bake time, but I messed up and added the crumb topping early.
The mistake with the crumb topping wasn't too bad. The nuts didn't really burn and everything turned out great. Allow the pie to cool and serve it up. The taste of the pie is really good, but the consistency needs some work.
