Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups (312g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 6-8 tbsp (90-120ml) ice water
- 4 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 4 cups)
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
- In a separate bowl, combine diced mangoes, sugar, cornstarch, cardamom, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix gently to combine. Let the filling sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one dough disk on a floured surface to fit the pie pan. Carefully transfer it to the pan. Pour the mango filling into the crust.
- Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the filling. Cut slits for steam release or create a lattice pattern. Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch drips and bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set.
