It was quite easy to put together and baked up in no time. My only issue was with the streusel topping. Imagine my surprise at that, considering that I absolutely adore streusel toppings. I found this one to be a bit too heavy on the butter, though. It really did not make that much of a topping. I felt the butter melted into the filling and did not make a crunchy topping - and that is what I feel streusel should do. In fact, I only used one-half of the streusel on this dish. I saved the other half and mixed it with some oats, flour and additional pecans to make a topping for a blueberry-peach crisp I made last week. Sorry - forgot to take photos of that. It was delicious.
As easy as this is, I cannot imagine myself ever making this again. I despise bananas and I am not overly impressed with the mango. In fact, I am going over to the despising side of mangoes simply because I find them so annoying to cut up. I don't have a mango cutter and I am not going to invest in one just for the few mango recipes that Dorie uses. So, I'm always trying to slice right up against the seed and I either don't cut deeply enough or I cut too deeply.
I was glad to find, however, that there is a method to making bananas more palateable.
