Mango Bread Pie
The mango season is here and I can’t let the season pass without making this Mango Bread Pie.
If you know me well, then you know that I am a huge mango lover and I love anything with mangoes. It may be a mango smoothie, mango jam, mango juice, mango ice cream or Peach Mango Pie.
Peach Mango Pie is a pie made by the famous fast-food chain in the Philippines called Jollibee. I cannot remember when did they add this delicious pie to their menu but it has been my favorite ever since. Peach Mango Pie is a fried pocket hand pie with a flaky crust and sweet peach and mango filling.
I’ve been craving for Peach Mango Pie but with the almost failed pie crust I made before, I didn’t want to try again… not now. But it doesn’t mean I cannot enjoy a good mango pie.
I’ve been seeing Tuna Bread Pie lately and I thought of making a mango bread pie… and I did.
Mango Bread Pie is a pocket hand pie that’s been fried. Instead of using pie crust, I used bread and with sweet mango filling. It is also crunchy because of the breadcrumbs coating.
Honestly speaking, I loved it. I think this is the closest thing you can have when you are craving for Peach Mango Pie but you are far away from the fast-food chain or you are too lazy to make the pie crust yourself. Also, this is a good way to use white bread and cheaper than using a pie crust.
I’ve shared a video on my YouTube channel – I hope you’ll check it out. 😉
I am taking these to this week’s Fiesta Friday #334. Thank you, Angie and Mollie for hosting!
Mango Bread Pie
Ingredients
Mango filling:
- 1 cup chopped ripe and firm mangoes
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp white sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Others:
- 8-10 slices white bread
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs beaten
- cooking oil for frying
Instructions
For the mango filling:
-
Place all the ingredients for the mango filling in a heatproof bowl. Mix everything and microwave for 1-2 minutes until it resembles a paste. Let it cool before using as a filling.
Others:
-
Cut the sides (brown part) of the bread. (The brown part of the bread can be used as breadcrumbs after they have dried out – don’t throw them.) Now, you’ll have the white part only – flatten this using a rolling pin or a bottle.
-
Place about 1 tbsp of the mango pie filing on top of the flattened white bread.
-
Brush the sides (only half side) of the bread with beaten egg to serve as a “glue”. Fold the other half, press and seal using a fork.
-
Coat the filled mango bread pie with beaten egg and then with breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
-
In a pan over medium heat, add oil. When the oil is hot, fry the mango bread pie until all sides are golden brown. Transfer the fried mango bread pies on a plate with a stack of paper towels to drain excess oil.
-
Enjoy immediately.

It’s so intriguing, Jhuls. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it before. I love mangoes, too, but the problem is it can be a hit or miss when buying mangoes, much like watermelon. I can never pick the right ones! I’ve heard so much about the famous Jollibee and when I was in Las Vegas this past Christmas break I had the chance to visit one but unfortunately we didn’t have enough time. Oh well, maybe next time.

I love it! Here in the States we have pies made with bread we cook over a campfire in a special mold called a pie iron. Nowadays ppl make all kinds of pies but back in the day, usually it was only sweet ones. This reminds me of those, only better with that wonderful filling and of course, fried!! Happy FF!!

What a fun and tasty idea. I love fried hand pies, but have never made or tasted a bread hand pie. Love mango as well so this sounds so good. I have frozen mangoes in the freezer, will they work?
