Sorry for the lack of posts lately. We are in the process of moving, and cooking is the last thing on my mind. It's been a lot of sandwiches and free meals at my parents house. I need to cook though. I miss it.
Yesterday Little L and I cleaned out the freezer. We found one sleeve of frozen pie crust, and we had to do something with it. I saw a recipe on Pinterest a while ago, for homemade Poptarts, and I knew that was what we were going to make. All that was needed was pie crust and jam. Check and check! Little L loved making these and said they were DELICIOUS!
Ingredients
Pie Crust *We used frozen store bought, but homemade would be yummy as well!
Any flavor jam or jelly
Optional Glaze Topping
Powdered Sugar
Milk
Vanilla
Food Coloring
Sprinkles
Directions
This is kind of a no recipe, recipe. Measurements depend on how many you want to make, or how much pie crust you have available. Roll out dough about 1/8 of an inch. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife cut out long rectangles. Spread about 2 tsp. of jam (we used strawberry) and fold in half to create Poptart shape. Press edges with a fork, making sure they are nice and sealed. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 5-7 minutes or until nice and golden. Transfer to a cooling rack, and let cool completely. While cooling make the glaze. In a small bowl mix powdered sugar, a splash of milk and a 1/2 tsp. of vanilla. If you want to make your glaze colored you can add a drop or two of food coloring. We added a tiny but of pink gel coloring. After the Poptarts cool, spread on a little glaze, and top with colorful sprinkles.
These were so yummy! We will definitely be making these again and playing around with filling flavors.
