Homemade Strawberry Pop Tarts
Did you know it is super easy to make your own homemade pop tarts? Try this strawberry version!
Ingredients
- 2 (9-inch) pie crusts
- flour, for dusting
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- On a clean work surface, lightly dusted with flour, unroll the pie crusts. You can use a pastry cutter or pizza cutter to cut equal sized pieces (6-9 rectangles for each pie crust). Transfer half of them to the parchment lined baking sheet.
- Place about a tablespoon of jam in the center of each dough square on the baking sheet. Place a piece of pie crust on top and seal the edges with a fork.
- Beat an egg in a small bowl, and use it to brush the tops of the pop tarts lightly.
- Use a fork to press a few holes in the top of your pop tarts to let air escape during the baking process.
- Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the pop tarts are baking, start on the icing.
- In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and a little bit of jam and whisk until smooth. Spoon icing on warm pop tarts. Top with sprinkles if using.
- Cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days. They freeze well too! Just wrap each pop tart in plastic wrap, and them wrap in aluminum foil and place in a freezer safe bag for up to three months. Let them thaw on the counter before enjoying
