Recipe Tips
Size-WiseSweets can be part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.
SubstituteIf fresh mangos are unavailable, use 2 cups cut-up jarred or thawed frozen mangos instead. Use 1 cup mangos to prepare the pie filling, and arrange 1 cup sliced mangos on top of the pie.
How to Cut MangosCut each mango in half, just clearing the long flat seed. Score the flesh into squares of desired size, being careful to cut up to, but not through, the skin. Press the skin so the cut fruit pops outward, then cut the cubes from the skin to remove.
