Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 9 pop tarts

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pckg ready-made crust (two crusts per package)
  • 1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Icing

  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp strawberry jam mixture
  • 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream, or more
  • 1 tsp strawberry extract
  • red food colouring, optional
  • sprinkles

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. Mix strawberry jam with cinnamon and cornstarch until well mixed. Set aside.

  3. Unroll pie crust. Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out nine hearts and place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet. 

  4. Spread a small amount of the jam mixture on each heart. Leaving about a 1/4" around the edge of the pie crust. Brush edges with beaten egg. 

  5. Cut out nine hearts from the second pie crust and place these over the first batch. Using a fork seal the two crusts together. Finally, poke your fork into each of the pop tarts a couple times to vent.

  6. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool.

  7. Make icing while pop tarts are baking. Mix together icing sugar, 1 tbsp of each strawberry jam mixture and heavy whipping cream. Add extract and mix until a glaze forms, adding extra cream and jam until it's a spreadable consistency. 

  8. Glaze each pop tart with about 1-2 tbsp of icing, whichever you prefer and then top with sprinkles.
