There’s something about pop tarts that all kids just love! Their frosted crust with delicious fruit (or brown sugar or chocolate) filling is a scrumptious treat. Pop tarts are often thought of as a breakfast food, but they can be good any time of day.

We love fruit flavors like strawberry, blueberry, and apple, but you could also make chocolate, brown sugar, or even s’mores homemade pop tarts!

Homemade Pop Tarts Recipe

Ingredients Needed

• 1 box refrigerated pie crust, softened as directed on box
• 1 small jar strawberry preserves
• 1 container of vanilla frosting
• sprinkles
• Parchment paper
• (Optional) Crimping tool

Directions to Make Homemade Pop Tarts

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Unroll the pie crust and square the edges. Cut each crust into four or six rectangles and spread out on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Place a teaspoon of jam in the center of the rectangle, spread out leaving space for a border and top with a second rectangle of pie crust.

Step 4

Crimp the edges with a crimping tool or a fork to seal the two layers of pie crust together.

Step 5

Bake the pop tarts for about 10 minutes or until they are slightly browned. After they have cooled, frost the top and add sprinkles!

Finished Pop Tarts

Eat! Next time you may want to try different flavors by using different jams and jellies or you can make a cinnamon and sugar mixture for a cinnamon Pop Tart…oh, that would smell really good!
