Ingredients

Pop Tart

  • 1 package (2 crusts) pre-made pie crusts
  • 3/4 cup seedless strawberry jam
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons water (for egg wash)

Icing

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk or water
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
  • sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare First Crust: Remove one pie crust from the package and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Gently roll it out with a rolling pin until you have an 11-inch wide circle.
  3. Add Jam Filling: Spread the seedless strawberry jam evenly over the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around all sides to allow for sealing.
  4. Apply Egg Wash Border: In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 2 tablespoons of water. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush this egg wash onto the 1-inch border around the jam to help seal the crusts together.
  5. Top with Second Crust: Roll out the second pie crust to the same size as the first. Carefully place it over the jam-filled crust and gently press the edges together with your fingers to seal.
  6. Crimp and Vent: Use a large fork to crimp the edges all around the pop tart, securing the seal and adding a decorative touch. Lightly prick the center of the top crust with the fork to allow steam to escape during baking. For a glossy finish, brush the top with any remaining egg wash.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes or until the crust turns lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool while preparing the glaze.
  8. Make the Icing: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk (or water), melted salted butter, and vanilla flavoring until smooth and fully combined.
  9. Glaze and Decorate: Spoon the glaze evenly over the slightly warm or cooled pop tart. Sprinkle with optional sprinkles for extra color and fun.
  10. Slice and Serve: Using a sharp, thin knife, cut the large pop tart into 8 equal pieces. Serve and enjoy your delicious homemade giant strawberry pop tart!

Notes

  • You can substitute the strawberry jam with any other favorite jam or preserves.
  • For a vegan option, use a plant-based butter and an egg substitute for the wash.
  • Be sure to prick the top crust to prevent bubbling and allow steam to escape.
  • Glaze can be adjusted in thickness by adding more liquid for thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for thicker icing.
  • Store leftover pop tart in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
