Fresh Strawberry Mango Pie
Pie can look so fancy and luxurious! But looks can be deceiving. Ingredients for most pie recipes are pretty inexpensive. Pie crust can be finicky to make but it’s so cheap, just shortening, salt and flour! This pie recipe falls into that category. As far as cost is concerned, this pie takes the cake (I couldn’t resist that pun). However, “Fresh Strawberry Mango Pie” can be expensive if you don’t get the produce on sale.
Strawberries: under $1.00 per pound
Mangos: under a $1.00 each

Notes
Food Inspiration
I love to experiment with food. As a result, I frequently change up recipes. I was inspired to add mangos to this recipe because of my kids. They were little stinkers and ate too many of the strawberries. As a result, I didn’t have quite enough for the pie. But it all worked out. I love “Becki’s Whole Life” Fresh Strawberry Pie recipe. Adding Mango just takes it a whole other level of deliciousness. Click below to find the original recipe!

I have a few different pie plates that I use. For this particular pie, I like to use a more shallow pie plate. Below are a few recommendations, if you looking to buy a new pie plate. Of course, I want you to be mindful of your budget. Here’s a great tip if you’er working with a tight budget. Simply, check your local “Goodwill” for your bakeware needs. You might get super lucky!
