Homemade Pop Tarts

Buying pop-tarts is a thing of the past. 

You can make them in 10 minutes, even with a fussy, over-tired baby on your hip. 

Think about all those nasty Trans fats you're doing without! These things are 6 billion times better than the 10 year old boxed stuff- and they're fun too cause you can make them however you want with whatever fillings you want! Don't you love smart people like me?

I could have been more domesticated and made my own pie crust.....but it's Valentines day. So, that's that.

Homemade Pop-Tarts

1 Box refrigerated Pie crust (2 crusts)

Real fruit jelly of any kind (I used Smuckers Strawberry Naturals)

Glaze:

1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar

1/2 Tsp. Vanilla

10 Drops red dye (to be romantic)

3 Tsp. Milk/Water

SPRINKLES!

Pre-heat oven to 425.

Roll out crust, and with a pizza cutter, cut off the round edges so the dough is a square.

Set edges aside.

Cut dough down the middle, then cut into whatever size rectangles you want.

Place 1-2 tsp. Jelly in the center of rectangle and place another piece on top, pressing edges together with a fork. 

Make sure the edges are sealed all the way, cause of a few of mine weren't and the jelly overflowed a bit out. 

I may have gotten over zealous and tried to put too much jelly inside. 

Whatevs.

Place pop tarts on an ungreased pan and bake for 7-8 minutes, til golden brown.

When cooled, glaze and sprinkle!
