Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (chilled)
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening (chilled)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 6–7 tbsp ice water
- 2 cups cubed mangoes (about 4 mangoes)
- 2 cups cubed peaches (about 3 peaches)
- 1/2 cup sugar (for filling)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Make the pie crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add chilled butter and shortening, using a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly. Stir in apple cider vinegar and gradually add ice water until dough forms. Divide into two balls, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the filling: Mix cubed mangoes and peaches in another bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and cornstarch, tossing gently to coat.
- Roll out dough: On a floured surface, roll one dough ball to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles with a cookie cutter or small bowl.
- Assemble pies: Place about a tablespoon of filling on half of each circle. Fold over to create pockets; seal edges with a fork.
- Fry the pies: Heat shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each pie for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Final touches: Cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
