4-stars for taste; 3-stars for presentation This pie has very good flavor but the next time I make it I will drain the liquid off the mango-strawberry mixture before putting it in the pie shell. I waited to cut the pie until it had completely cooled and there was too much liquid which resulted in a soggy crust. This made it very hard to lift out nice looking pieces.
Fantastic! Delicious! Recipe was easy to follow and true to amounts. I personally like a little more of the crumb mixture so I just made more and added it. I also added a bit of orange juice when simmering the mangoes and strawberries... it adds a nice thick sort of glaze to the fruit as it reduces. Just options.
This pie was good but I wouldn't say amazing. I did alter the recipe according to what I had on hand but I don't think it this had much impact on the final result. I used lemon and lime juice instead of apple juice because that's all I had. I had an 8" pie crust so I ended up getting rid of all the excess liquid that was left with the cooked mango and strawberries. I also omitted the nutmeg. I thought there was way too much crumb mixture (even though I didn't use all of it). If I was to do this pie again I would probably not do the crumb mixture and just use a regular pie crust on top.
I'm not sure what went wrong with this because I feel like I made this just as the recipe said. Although I took the nutmeg down to 1/2 T instead. During the cooking of the strawberries and mango mixture I thought it was delightful. I now wish I had just stopped there and served it over ice cream instead. Instead the topping just ended up so overbearing in both proportion to the filling and in taste. Not a fan.
This pie has been a hit every single time I've made it. I cut down the nutmeg and added more of the crumbly stuff on top. I also made homemade whipped cream with almond extract and a little lemon juice to dallop on top. SO GOOD. This recipe will definitely be used and abused.
This pie is amazing! Easy to make & delicious!
Great recipe with some modifications. It's true the mango/strawberry filling is pretty thin in the pot but just add a corn starch blend to thicken it up (I shake cornstarch with enough water to mix it well and then add to the pot). If you pour off the liquid you'll lose most of the mangos! A tablespoon of cinnamon and nutmeg? I used a teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. Perfect.
Did not like at all! Fruit was rubbery and filling was very runny. Crust got mushy underneath. Nutmeg was very overpowering in crumble. One of the worst pies I have ever made.
very good needs to cool for a long time would try some of the other suggestions next time using vanilla pudding etc. did cut down on the nutmeg as others suggested
