Homemade Pop Tarts: A Delicious & Easy Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
• 0.25 cup strawberry jam, divided
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon water, or as needed
• 1 tablespoon colored decorating sugar, or as needed

Instructions

1. Get your ingredients ready. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
2. Unroll the pie crusts. Place them on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to gently square the edges. Cut each crust into 8 equal rectangles.
3. Add about 1 tablespoon of your chosen jam to the center of 8 pastry squares, spreading it to within 1/4-inch of the edge. Top each with another pastry square. Seal the edges by crimping them together with a fork. Trim any excess pastry with a knife, if you want. Transfer the filled pastries to the prepared baking sheets.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges turn a light golden brown, approximately 7 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheets.
5. In a bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until you achieve a spreadable frosting consistency. If needed, add water drop by drop to reach the perfect texture. Frost the cooled tarts and sprinkle with colorful sugar.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade pop tarts!
