EASY HOMEMADE POP TARTS

Delicious Homemade Pop Tarts are 1000% better than store-bought. A homemade version of the classic breakfast treat for when the kid in you cries out.  These strawberry pop tarts are homemade and a must try!

Why This Recipe Works

• So much better than store-bought pop tarts! These have so much flavor, and a wonderful flaky pastry.
• Can easily be frozen for later. If you don’t want to eat them all at once you can freeze these, baked or unbaked.
•  Made with strawberry jam but you can customize these to whatever you want!
  

  Storage Instructions

  Store pop tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. These are really best eaten fresh. If you can’t finish them within a few days, try freezing the leftover for a quick breakfast or snack in the future!

  Once fully cooled, store the pop tarts in an air-tight container or zipper bag and freeze for up to 4 months. Easily reheat them in the toaster straight from frozen.

  Can I use a store-bought pie crust?

  You absolutely can. Or even try using puff pastry!

  Do you bake or toast pop tarts?

  For store-bought pop tarts, they are already baked so you are just simply warming up the sweet strawberry filling but for these they need to baked first because of the raw pie dough.

  What are pop tarts?

  Pop tarts are a classic breakfast pastry made from two rectangular pie crusts, and filled with some sort of sweet filling. A glaze is usually drizzled over the top. There are many flavors and varieties now available in the grocery store.

  NOTES AND TIPS:

  • Filling: You do you right here! Strawberry preserves, blackberry jam, mixed berry, apricot, raspberry, cherry–try it all! Pictured in this post is strawberry jam. You could whip up some homemade chia jam   as well if that sounds like fun! Whatever your flavor for these homemade pop tarts!
  • Don’t over fill these. If you do, the jam will find its way out and then they are not quite so pretty. And who wants that?!
  • Really work to press the edges closed as best as you can. I pressed mine together and then used the fork–this made a difference.
  • A bit of jam in the icing helps bring out the color. You could also add sprinkles if you would like.
