How to Make Homemade Pop Tarts Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 Pie Crusts, refrigerated
• 1/2 cup of your favorite jam + 1 tbsp for the icing
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 large egg + cold water
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp heavy cream
• Rainbow Sprinkles

Roll out pie dough to smooth them out on a work surface .

Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut a big square shape out of the dough. Then cut that square into 3 equal rectangles.

In a large bowl, add jam and mix in cornstarch to thicken the jam filling.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of jam to the end of each pop tart.

Make an egg wash by mixing a beaten egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush it around the edges of the tart dough to act like a glue.

Fold the homemade poptarts over and crimp the edges by pressing around the pastry dough with the tines of a fork.

Place each of your toaster pastries on a piece of parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the tops of the pop-tarts are golden brown.

Let them cool on a wire rack to room temperature.

To make your frosting, mix together powdered sugar, a spoonful of your jam heavy cream. Start out with a tablespoon of heavy cream and add until you have a nice thin consistency.

Drizzle the frosting over your cooled pop-tarts and add some sprinkles to the top of each tart.

Store in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap.
