Ingredients

2 cups fresh or canned peaches, diced
1 cup fresh or canned mangoes, diced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package of store-bought pie crust or homemade pastry dough
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Oil for frying (if deep-frying)

Note: If you’re using canned fruits, make sure to drain them well to avoid a soggy filling.

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine peaches, mangoes, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the fruits are tender. This should take about 10-12 minutes. Let it cool completely.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking. If you prefer frying, heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and cut it into rectangles, approximately 4×6 inches each.
Spoon a generous amount of the cooled fruit filling onto one half of each rectangle, leaving space around the edges.
Brush the edges with beaten egg and fold the dough over to form a pocket. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
For baking: Place the pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush the tops with egg wash, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
For frying: Carefully place the pies into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Expert Tips for Success

For the best results, make sure your fruit filling is completely cooled before assembling the pies. This prevents the pastry from becoming soggy. If you’re frying, ensure the oil temperature is consistent to achieve a perfectly crispy crust. A thermometer can be handy here!

Don’t overfill the pies to avoid leakage during cooking. A little patience and practice go a long way in mastering this delightful treat.

Cooking Tools

When I make this recipe, my go-to tool is the MOSFiATA 8″ Professional Chef’s Knife for chopping the peaches and mangoes with precision. For mixing the filling, I love using the Silicone Utensils Set – 12 pcs, which makes stirring a breeze without scratching my pans. And if you’re opting to fry, a reliable thermometer like the Electric Knife Sharpener (3-stage diamond) ensures your oil is at the perfect temperature for that golden, crispy finish.

Variations and Substitutions

If you’re looking to make this recipe gluten-free, simply swap the regular pie crust for a gluten-free version. For a lower sugar option, reduce the sugar in the filling or use a sugar substitute of your choice. Feel free to experiment with other fruits like pineapple or berries for a unique twist on the classic peach mango pie Jollibee.

Serving Suggestions

These pies are best served warm, fresh from the oven or fryer, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side. They also make a delightful addition to a brunch spread or a sweet ending to a summer barbecue.

FAQs

Can I make the filling ahead of time?

Absolutely! The filling can be made up to two days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just ensure it’s completely cool before using.

How do I store leftover pies?

Store any leftover pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.

Making peach mango pie Jollibee style at home is a delightful way to bring a taste of the Philippines to your kitchen. I hope you enjoy baking (or frying) these pies as much as my family and I do. They’re a sweet reminder of how food can connect us to cherished memories and new traditions.
