This recipe (scroll down to the bottom of the page) calls for apricot to use on the topping of the pastries. What fruit do you recommend to use that will be as good, along with its jam for the glaze? What about mango? I have no idea about cooked mango, have never eaten one!

If your objective is to maintain a similar color/texture/firmness, then cling peaches are the way to go. Except they are almost always found canned (I live in California and sometimes find them fresh at farmers markets where vendors come from the Sacramento valley).
I'm a fan of the pear. Bosc and Anjou will hold up well during cooking (Bartlett pears may fall apart).
Both should work well with the pastry cream and vanilla in the recipe.
If you end up using pears, consider adding just a hint of almond extract or amaretto to the pastry creme.
