Cuisine: Filipino
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, diced
- 2 peaches, diced
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 package of pie crusts
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit filling by combining diced mangoes and peaches in a medium saucepan.
- Add sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon to the fruit mixture. Stir thoroughly to coat the fruits evenly and prevent clumping.
- Cook the fruit mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes slightly glossy, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the fruit filling from heat and let it cool completely at room temperature. The filling should reach a jam-like consistency.
- Roll out the pie crusts and cut them into rectangular shapes, approximately 4x6 inches each.
- Place a spoonful of cooled fruit filling in the center of each pie crust rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Fold the pie crust over the filling, creating a turnover shape. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork to create a crimped border.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully place the sealed pie turnovers into the hot oil, frying 2-3 at a time to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry each pie for 2-3 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the pies using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Let the pies cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and prevent burns.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Tips
