| Cook Time: | 10 mins |
| Additional Time: | 20 mins |
| Total Time: | 50 mins |
| Servings: | 8 |
| Yield: | 8 tarts |
Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
- ¼ cup strawberry jam, divided
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon colored decorating sugar, or as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Unroll pie crusts, place on a lightly floured work surface, and roll slightly with a rolling pin to square the edges. Cut each crust into 8 equal-sized rectangles.
- Place about 2 teaspoons strawberry jam in the center of 8 squares. Spread jam out to within 1/4-inch of the edge. Top each with another pastry square and use a fork to crimp together, sealing in jam. Use a knife to trim pastries, if desired. Transfer filled pastries to the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly golden brown, about 7 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheets.
- Stir together confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl to make a spreadable frosting. Spread cooled tarts with frosting and sprinkle with colored sugar.

LOVE this recipe!!!! I have tried them with all sorts of berries, cinnamon and apples, and apricot jams. I will be making a cream cheese and berries soon! Thank you
Used store bought crust and homemade strawberry freezer jam, super yummy!
Super easy. Tasted better than I expected…and thankfully better than a regular pop-tart! We will make this again.
super easy and turned out amazing!! i brushed them with egg wash before going in the oven and they came out perfect. took 10 mins @ 425. dyed my icing blue and topped with sprinkles!!
It tastes great
Yeah these are ok and certainly better for you than the prepackaged commercial pop tarts. We put raspberry jelly in the middle and they tasted pretty good. Rather than trying to manipulate a circular pie crust into a square, I just cut them into pizza shaped wedges which worked fine. Would I make again? Maybe. nothing spectacular at least considered spectacular in this household.
Easy to make and tastes great!
These came out SO good — much better than the boxed variety. They are very sweet, though.
I’m not much of a baker, but this recipe was easy and fun. You can be as creative as you want with toppings. This batch was chocolate and toasted coconut with raspberry jam filling.
Loved them! Tastes much better than store bought kind.
This recipe is very easy and tasty!!! I made my own pie crust and it turned out AWESOME!! The only thing that needs changed is that if you cook this at 450F it actually gets done in the 7 minutes as specified. Will definitely make this again!!!!
it was fine for how easy it was, my main complaint is no matter how i seal them or add holes, the strawberry jam always gets out, the flavor was ok too, nothing stood out much, but thats just my opinion, you may like it more
I made some smaller round ones and this recipe was amazing. We prefer these to original pop tarts. I do agree with another user that you need to wet the edges a little before sealing. It keeps the jam from oozing out the sides.
So good! I used my homemade raspberry jam from the garden and my own pie crust recipe but such a fun simple idea.
This was easy to make and pretty good. I only made 1/4 of the icing recipe and it was just the right amount. These tasted good but when I calculated the calories it comes to about 305 calories per tart. The packaged pop tarts are 200 each, for comparison. These are probably slightly healthier if you use organic, low sugar preserves but you are getting more calories. Just an FYI.
Used “French Pastery Pie Crust” from this site (which is awesome and makes a double pie crust that I use for all my other pies) and raspberry jam. Used 1/2 of the frosting ingredients listed which was enough. I recommend making sure your squares are all the same size so they match up and seal the edges with a bit of water so it seals. Had to bake mine for about 20 mins. until I got a golden color. They are good and I like that they are not full of all the ingredients in a boxed Pop Tart, but not sure it is work the work unless you really like piecrust filled with jam. If you like Pop Tarts make them though!
Our family loved these! I just folded each crust in half and cut into 4 wedges to avoid having to square anything. I also used a brown butter frosting and drizzled each wedge rather than frosting the entire piece. Delicious!
Very easy to make, and taste yummy! You can change up the filling and frostings to whatever you like. I used strawberry jam and to keep the jam from seeping out I sprinkled sugar on top of the jam. I cut them into circle shapes because I only had one pie crust and I ended with six pop tarts. I’m going to try it with blueberry pie filling next time.
I had to add more milk to the glaze. These were very good, but not as good as I had anticipated. Maybe I needed to put more jam in? They were like little pies.
Pop tarts were once one of my favorite foods until I found out how horrible they are for you. This receipe is awesome!!!!
We enjoyed making this recipe at home. We took the advice of those who made their own crust. We also went with no frosting because the jam was sweet enough. We used foil and baked at 450 for 10min. Good times!!!
