Description
Delightful and easy-to-make homemade pop tarts with a flaky pie crust and a fruity filling.
Ingredients
- 1 package of rolled pie crust (a 2 ct. 7.5 oz pack)
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of jam or preserves of your choice
- 1 large egg for the egg wash
- 1 cup of powdered sugar for icing
- 2-3 tablespoons of milk or cream to thin the icing
- 2 tablespoons of your jam for filling
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for added flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Lay a sheet of parchment on a baking sheet and unroll the pie crust onto a separate sheet of parchment.
- Cut as many 3 by 5-inch rectangles as possible from each crust.
- Knead any leftover crust together and roll it out to create more rectangles.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl to create the egg wash.
- Place 8 rectangles on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Add 1.5 tablespoons of jam on each.
- Brush the edges of the rectangles with the egg wash and place another rectangle on top.
- Pinch the edges and crimp with a fork to seal securely.
- Poke some holes in the tops of the pop tarts. Brush the tops and edges with more egg wash.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Whisk together the icing ingredients and spread over each pop tart.
- Add sprinkles, freeze-dried berries, crushed rose petals, or enjoy them as-is!
