Buttery pie crust plus sweet and bright fruit filling, these peach mango pies are a delicious pocket-sized desserts that you can eat anytime.
Those peach mango pies from Jollibee? I can eat two in one sitting. I can five in a day. I can eat them every day.
If there is one thing that can make me lose my control when it comes to proper eating, it is peach mango pies.
Buttery, flaky crust gets filled with a delightfully sweet fruit combination, peach mango pies are my one absolute weakness.
I am so addicted to the way the crust and the fruit filling blends together in my mouth. I love the crust to filling ratio in hand pies, more than in open-faced pies.
You probably may have read in the blog before that I love a buttery, flaky pastry. Hand pies give me lots of that. And these are deep fried. Which means they are perfectly tender-crisp without any soggy parts.
The peach and mango? Killer combination. Between me and my daughters, these pies are gone quickly.
How To Make Peach Mango Pies?
Make the Pastry
Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add in the chilled butter cubes and the shortening and cut them into the flour mixture using a pastry blender.
Work quickly until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
Add the apple cider vinegar and water. Stir everything until dough is almost coming together. When pressed with your fingers, the mixture should cling together.
Turn it out into a floured board. Knead just until the dough comes together. Gather it into a ball, flatten into a disc and wrap with plastic.
Refrigerate dough for about 2 hours or overnight. After the chilling time, make the filling.
Make the Peach Mango Filling and Assemble the Pies
- Combine mangoes, peaches, sugar, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Stir often until the fruits are soft and covered with a thick gel-like liquid. Set aside to cool.
- Let the dough sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. On a floured board, roll it out to 1/4 inch thickness*.
- Using cookie cutter that is 3.5 inches in diameter, cut as many circles as you can from the dough.
- To fill the dough, roll the rolling pin gently over one circle to elongate it a bit more. Spoon about a tablespoon of the filling into the center of the dough. Fold the dough over, covering the filling completely.
- Seal the ends and use the tines of a fork to press some decorations along the edges. Repeat with the rest of the circles.
- Arrange all assembled pies on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper. Chill them in the fridge as you heat up the oil for frying.
- Fill a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the shortening and melt over medium heat. As it melts, it should occupy about 3-4 inches of the height of the saucepan. Add more shortening as needed. Once the temperature reaches 365 F, gently place 3-4 pies in the saucepan.
- Cook until the pies are lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes or less. Drain the cooked pies on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Repeat with the remaining pies, carefully monitoring the temperature of the oil to maintain the proper heat.
- If the pies brown too quickly, your oil may be too hot. Adjust the heat accordingly all throughout the frying.
Tips and Pointers:
- When rolling the dough, it is important to flour the board and your rolling pin often to prevent the dough from sticking too much.
- For variety, you can also do some circle shaped instead of just half-moon shapes for the pies. Spoon filling into the center of a circle dough, top it with another circle dough and seal the edges. Press decorations along the edges using the tines of a fork.
- The proper temperature of the oil is critical for frying the pies. The oil should reach 365 F before adding the first batch of pies, and it should maintain the temperature all the time during frying
These peach mango pies store well too. Keep them in a box or in bakery paper bags for up to two days and they won’t be soggy not like when they are baked.
These are great packets of dessert, guys. You have to try them and you’ll love making them often.

Hello,
Instead of frying the empanadas, can I bake them?
Yes, you can bake them too. Try 400 F for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden 🙂
Hi, can you use all butter instead of vegetable shortening? Thanks!
Yes, you can use butter 🙂
Out of curiosity, have you tried a fruit other than peach in these? I love peaches, but I’m not big on mango. Is there another fruit you’d recommend substituting in?
You can use all peaches here, if you don’t like mango 🙂
