Ingredients

2 ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped

1 package of pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Vegetable oil (for frying)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, mangoes, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the fruits break down and soften, about 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in a tablespoon of water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the fruit mixture and stir until the filling thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat.
Roll out the pie crusts and cut them into rectangles or circles, depending on your preferred shape.
Spoon a small amount of the peach mango filling onto the center of each pie crust.
Fold the crust over the filling and seal the edges by pressing them together with a fork.
Brush the top of each pie with a beaten egg to give it a golden color when fried.
Fry the pies in batches, turning them as necessary, until they’re golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Servings and Timing

Servings: This recipe yields about 6-8 individual pies, depending on the size of your crust portions.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes

Variations

Baked Version: For a lighter version, bake the pies instead of frying them. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Mixed Fruit: Add some pineapple or strawberries to the peach and mango filling for an extra burst of flavor.
Vegan Option: Use a plant-based pie crust and substitute the egg wash with a mixture of almond milk or plant-based milk and a little maple syrup.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store leftover pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you prefer to keep them longer, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheating: To reheat, place the pies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness. Alternatively, you can warm them in the microwave, but they might lose some of their crunch.

FAQs

Can I use canned peaches and mangoes for this recipe?

Yes, canned peaches and mangoes can be used in place of fresh ones. Just make sure to drain them well before cooking to avoid excess liquid in the filling.

Can I bake these pies instead of frying them?

Yes, you can bake them for a healthier alternative. Just make sure to brush the pies with an egg wash or milk to ensure they turn golden brown.

How do I seal the pies properly?

Press the edges of the pie crusts firmly with a fork to seal them and prevent the filling from spilling out during frying.

Can I make these pies ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the pies and refrigerate them before frying. Just let them come to room temperature before frying or baking.

What other fruits can I use in the filling?

You can experiment with fruits like apples, blueberries, or even a mix of tropical fruits to create your own custom filling.

Can I freeze these pies for later?

Yes, you can freeze un-fried pies. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, fry them directly from the freezer.

How long will the pies stay fresh?

These pies are best eaten within a couple of days. After that, they may lose their crispiness, but they’ll still be delicious.

Can I make mini-sized pies?

Absolutely! You can use a smaller pie crust or shape them into individual-sized pockets for bite-sized versions of this treat.

How can I make the crust extra crispy?

For extra crispiness, make sure the oil is hot enough before frying, and avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature.

What should I serve these pies with?

These pies can be enjoyed on their own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
