Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Bowls
  • whisk
  • fork
  • Roller
  • knife

Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole Refrigerated Pre-made Pie Crusts
  • ½ cup Fruit Jam, Any Variety
  • 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Heavy Cream or More As Needed
  • Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix ½ cup jam with cornstarch.
  • Crack the egg into a second small bowl and whisk.
  • Flour a large work surface and lay both pie crusts out on it.
  • Roll the circles to 11 inches across.
  • Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the edges off, about 1 inch off all sides, to create two 9-inch squares.
  • Then cut each square into three 3-inch stripes, or 6 total.
  • Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of jam on one end of each strip.
  • Brush a rectangle of egg around the jam, to glue the sides together.
  • Fold the dry end over the end with jam.
  • Use a fork to crimp the edges together on all sides.
  • Repeat with remaining pie crust strips.
  • Move the pop tarts to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden. Cool.
  • After the pop tarts have cooled for several minutes, whisk powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon jam, and 1-2 tablespoons cream together to create an icing glaze.
  • Spoon over the top of each pop tart and immediately sprinkle with sugar sprinkles.
  • Let the icing dry, either on the baking sheets or on a dry rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
