Pop Tarts

Name: Pop Tarts
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 8
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 package of 2 pie crusts, frozen and then thawed; 1 tablespoons your favorite jam (I used mixed berry jam); small bowl of water (for sealing edges of the crust); sprinkles; 1 cup confectioner's sugar; 1 tablespoon jam; 1-2 tablespoons milk (or same amount non-dairy milk)

Yield: 8 pop tarts

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 package of 2 pie crusts, frozen and then thawed
1 tablespoons your favorite jam (I used mixed berry jam)
small bowl of water (for sealing edges of the crust)
sprinkles

Glaze

1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon jam
1-2 tablespoons milk (or same amount non-dairy milk)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
Take out the thawed pie crusts, and place them on a cutting board, cut them into 8 pieces.
Remove the top pie crust piece and add 1 tablespoon to each piece and spread it around, leaving room on the edges. Take some water on your fingertips (or a pastry brush) and brush the edges of the pastry, put the top part back on and using a fork crimp the edges, and poke more holes for ventilation while baking on the top surface of the pop tart. Repeat with all the other pieces.
Transfer the finished pastries evenly to the silicone baking mat-lined rimmed baking sheet, bake in your 450 degrees preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until light brown. When they are done, take out and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the sheet and then transfer to a wire baking rack carefully using a spatula to completely. Make sure not to apply any glaze when they are warm/hot.
Make the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, mix 1 cup confectioners sugar and 1-2 tablespoons milk, using a fork, stir to combine, adjust the consistency as needed with more sugar to thicken and more milk to thin it out.
When the pastries are cool, dip them in the glaze and place them back on the cooling rack (it helps to have a baking rack underneath to catch the drips), add the optional sprinkles, enjoy!

Notes

If pie crusts are frozen, let them (in their pouches) stand for 60-90 minutes or follow the directions on the box.
