Description

This Mango Crumble is a golden, buttery dessert bursting with tropical sweetness and a perfectly crisp topping. Juicy ripe mangoes are baked under a crumbly layer made with oats, flour, butter, and brown sugar—creating a comforting treat that’s both simple and luxurious. Served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, it’s the perfect summer dessert for family gatherings or cozy evenings.

Ingredients
    For the Mango Filling:
  • 4 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure, alcohol-free)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
    • For the Crumble Topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
    Prepare the Mango Filling
  1. 1
    Peel and dice the mangoes into small cubes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Toss everything until the mangoes are evenly coated and the cornstarch dissolves completely. This will ensure your filling turns syrupy and rich once baked.
    2. Make the Crumble Topping
  2. 2
    In another bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes, and using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Avoid overmixing—small butter chunks create a crisp and golden texture.
    3. Assemble the Crumble
  3. 3
    Grease a medium-sized baking dish (about 8x8 inches). Spread the mango filling evenly on the bottom, then sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the top, ensuring all fruit is covered but not pressed down too tightly.
    4. Bake the Crumble
  4. 4
    Place the dish in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the mango filling is bubbling around the edges.
  5. 5
    If you want an extra-crispy topping, you can broil for the last 2 minutes—but watch closely to prevent burning.
    6. Rest and Serve
  6. 6
    Remove the crumble from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the filling to thicken and flavors to settle.
  7. 7
    Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or plain Greek yogurt for a refreshing touch.
Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 160°C for 10 minutes before serving.

Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the crumble topping ahead and freeze it for up to 1 month. Sprinkle it over fresh mangoes when ready to bake.

Vegan Option: Substitute butter with cold coconut oil or vegan butter for a dairy-free version.

Variation: Mix in chopped pineapple or passion fruit with mango for a tropical twist.
