These were good and so easy. The kids enjoyed helping. Would be fun to have with guests or at a party and have different kinds of jams and let people choose their own. Didn't have sparkling sugar but would be fun to try (wonder if WinCo has it in bulk). I just used the boxed pie crust. Made 1/2 of the glaze - could have made even less that half.
UPDATE: We really like these with any kind of jelly. Could also use pie filling. Have done peanut butter with jelly...that is good too. I like egg wash on top the best. Also have sprinkled turbinado (brown) sugar on top. Really liked. Have used homemade pie crust...see below. Last time I made them I wrapped them up kinda like a present.
Ingredients:
- Pie crust, refrigerated or homemade
- Jam or Preserves
- Glaze or Egg Wash
- Sparkling Sugar
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Unroll one of the pie crusts and square the edges (I didn't do this I just cut 3 across each way - worked fine being rounded). Cut into rectangles. Place 1 tsp of jam in the center of a rectangle and top with another piece of crust. Crimp all four edges. Repeat until all of the pie crust is used.
Bake the pop-tarts for about 7 – 8 minutes or until slightly brown. Once cool, pour glaze over and decorate with sugar. If you don’t want to add extra sugar with the glaze, you can use an egg wash on the tops with some white sugar.
To Make the Glaze:
- 1 cup powder sugar
- milk to thin
Place powdered sugar in bowl. Pour milk slowly until it has a consistency of really thick syrup.
NEVER FAIL PIE CRUST
Danae Winder gave this recipe at a Made from Scratch. The website justgetoffyourbuttandbake had same recipe but different method to make it (see blog post on homemade pie crust). My family loves this crust.
1 3/4 Cups shortening
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 Teaspoons salt
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 egg
1/2 Cup ice cold water
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and sugar. Mix well, then cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal.
In a small bowl, combine egg, vinegar and water. Whisk together then add gradually to flour mixture, stirring with a fork. Mix until dough forms a ball.
Allow dough to rest in refrigerator 10 minutes before rolling out.
