Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups ripe mangoes (peeled, pitted, and chopped)
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cups crumbled bread (preferably day-old, about 4 slices)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped mangoes, light brown sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir gently until the mangoes are evenly coated. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
In a separate bowl, combine the crumbled bread, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly moistened and slightly clumpy.
Spread half of the prepared breadcrumb mixture evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Layer the mango mixture on top of the breadcrumbs, distributing it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs over the mango layer, ensuring full coverage.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mangoes are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the Mango Brown Betty cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
