Description

Tired of the packaged variety of pop tarts that taste like cardboard, but not tired of pop tarts themselves? Try making your own with this easy recipe.

Ingredients

• 15 oz. package refrigerated pie crusts
• 1/4 c. strawberry jam or your favorite flavor, divided
• 2 c. powdered sugar
• 2 T. milk
• 1/2 t. vanilla extract
• 1 T. colored decorating sugar, optional
• 1 T. colored sprinkles, optional

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Unroll pie crusts, place on a lightly floured work surface, and roll the crusts slightly with a rolling pin to square the edges. Cut each crust into 8 rectangles of equal sizes to equal 16 squares in total.
3. Place 2 teaspoons jam in the center of 8 squares; spread the jam out to within 1/4 inch of the edges of the pastry squares. Top each with another pastry square; use a fork to crimp the squares together, sealing in the jam. Tim the pastries, if desired.
