Mango Pineapple Crisp

April 26, 2012 By Betsy Cohen

Desserts Required's Mango Pineapple Crisp has a bit of nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon that adds the perfect amount of sugar and spice to make everything nice.  Easy recipe, too!

Mango Pineapple Crisp

My fruit phase has continued. Go figure. One month I was only able to think of chocolate, peanut butter and coconut and now I seem to be gravitating to what is freshest in the produce section.

About the same time, Samuel and I went to Coolinary Café and devoured Chef Tim’s delicious Berry Cobbler. Being the ‘monkey see, monkey do’ type of gal that I am, I raved about the dessert to everyone I spoke to until finally I realized what I had to do…bake a cobbler or in my case, a crisp.

Easy to say, but the tricky part was figuring out what fruits I wanted to use. The best crisps will use the fruits that are nearly past their shelf life. Not rotten, but rather filled with the sweetness that the dessert requires.

As I roamed the aisles, I saw a sign: 10 mangoes for $10. The thrifty side of me paused. The baking side of me knew I decided on one of the fruits for my crisp.

I would like to say that I spent hours figuring out what to combine the mangoes with, but once again, Publix made shopping a pleasure. Right next to the mangoes were these perfectly ripe pineapples.

I debated whether or not the crisp would be colorful enough with both fruits in the yellow/orange family, and ultimately decided that they remind me of a beautiful spring day. That was a refreshing thought.

Next internal debate was what spices I wanted to add. I could have simply opted for the good old standby; sugar/flour/butter, but sugar AND spice makes everything nice. Ultimately, a bit of nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon won the spice challenge.

The end result is a dessert that will not only appeal to your eye, but will make your tummy so thrilled that you decide to expand your crisp repertoire, too.
