    How to Make Crispy Mango-Pear Ginger Pandowdy

    1. Preheat Oven

    Set your oven to preheat at 350°F.

    2. Mix Filling

    In a pie plate, mix the diced mangoes and pears with 1/2 cup of sugar, arrowroot flour, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the arrowroot flour is fully dissolved into the fruit mixture.

    3. Prepare Crust

    Cover the fruit filling with the prepared pie crust, tucking the edges snugly around the fruit. Sprinkle the top of the crust with 1 tablespoon of sugar.

    4. Initial Bake

    Place your pie in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.

    5. Slice and Smush Crust

    After 30 minutes, take the pie out and slice the crust into 1-inch pieces using a knife. Gently smush these crust pieces into the filling with a spoon.

    6. Final Bake

    Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the crust is browned.

    7. Serve

    Serve your crispy mango-pear ginger pandowdy warm, perhaps with a scoop of ice cream.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Oven Temperature

    Preheat your oven and use a baking stone or steel for consistent temperature and to avoid a soggy bottom crust.

    Choosing the Right Fruit

    Select ripe yet firm pears and mangoes to prevent mushiness after baking.

    Docking the Dough

    Score or 'dock' the dough before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent a soggy topping.

    The Dough

    Keep all ingredients for the dough cold, work quickly, and consider chilling your flour to avoid a tough crust.

    Fresh Ginger vs. Powdered Ginger

    Use fresh ginger for a more vibrant flavor, grating it finely to integrate well with the fruits.
