Ingredients

Scale

For the Mango Filling:

  • 3 cups fresh mangoes, diced (about 2–3 large mangoes)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust based on mango sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (enhances flavor and prevents browning)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for warmth)

For the Crumble Topping:

  • ¾ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for a nuttier taste)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts (optional, for extra crunch)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Mangoes: Fresh mangoes provide natural sweetness and a tropical flavor. Ripe, juicy mangoes work best for a soft, flavorful filling.
  • Oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats add crunch and texture to the crumble topping.
  • Brown Sugar: Gives the topping a rich, caramel-like sweetness.
  • Butter: Helps create the perfect golden, crumbly texture.
  • Cornstarch: Thickens the mango filling, ensuring it isn’t too watery.

Instructions

Prepare the Mango Filling:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish (8×8-inch or similar).
  2. Mix the Mangoes: In a mixing bowl, combine diced mangoes, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Toss until the mangoes are evenly coated.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mango mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Prepare the Crumble Topping:

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Add Butter: Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly. If using nuts, fold them in now.

Assemble and Bake:

  1. Sprinkle the Crumble: Evenly distribute the crumble topping over the mango filling.
  2. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the mangoes are bubbling.
  3. Cool: Let the crumble cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.
