Easy & Healthy Mango Crisp (Naturally Sweetened)

Submitted by LittleBitGranola

"A quick, delicious, and healthy way to make any fruit crisp, not just mango crisp. The sweetness comes from dates rather than sugar. The amount of fruit is an estimate; it takes about 4 of the larger (green and red skinned) mangoes or 6 of the smaller (orange) mangoes. This recipe is a tropical twist inspired by a blueberry peach crisp recipe at whfoods.org."
