This Homemade Pop Tarts recipe uses pre-made pie crusts to create a quick and delicious treat filled with sweet strawberry jam. The pop tarts are baked until golden brown and topped with a smooth vanilla glaze and colorful sprinkles, making them a perfect breakfast or snack option.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 Package Pie Crust (2 sheets)

Filling

  • 1 Cup Strawberry Jam

Egg Wash

  • 1 Large Egg

Glaze

  • 2 Cups Icing Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Strawberry Jam

Toppings

  • ¼ Cup Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into equal rectangles, typically 3×4 inches.
  2. Fill the Pop Tarts: Place about 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam in the center of half of the rectangles, leaving space around the edges for sealing.
  3. Seal the Tarts: Lightly brush the edges of the jam-filled rectangles with beaten egg. Top each with a plain rectangle and press the edges together to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges securely.
  4. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the sealed pop tarts with the beaten egg to help them brown beautifully during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the pop tarts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  6. Make the Glaze: While the pop tarts bake, combine the icing sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and strawberry jam in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  7. Glaze the Pop Tarts: Once the pop tarts are slightly cooled but still warm, spread the glaze evenly over the top of each tart.
  8. Add Sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle the tops with colorful sprinkles before the glaze sets for a fun finishing touch.
  9. Serve: Allow the glaze to set for about 15 minutes, then serve and enjoy your homemade strawberry pop tarts!

Notes

  • You can substitute strawberry jam with any other favorite jam or preserves.
  • Ensure you seal the edges well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  • The glaze can be thinned with additional milk if it is too thick for spreading.
  • Store leftover pop tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
