Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pie crusts I like pillsbury pie crusts but you can make your own too!
  • 3/4 cup jam of choice
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • food coloring optional for the icing
  • sprinkles optional for decorating

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Unwrap the two pie crusts (if using store-bought) and lightly go over each one with a rolling pin to make them a touch more thin and smooth.
  • Using a sharp knife, trim the edges of each pie crust to create two even rectangles.
  • Transfer one pie crust to the prepared sheet pan and evenly spread on the jam, making sure to leave a 1 inch boarder around the edge.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tbsp water to create an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash around the 1 inch boarder of exposed pie crust.
  • Lay the second pie crust directly on top of the first and use your index finger to lightly press and seal the edges of the pie crust together.
  • Using the prongs of a fork, crimp the edges of the pastry by pressing straight down to make indentations along the boarder.
  • Dock the top of the poptart by poking a few holes on the surface with the prongs of your fork. This will let air escape while it bakes.
  • Brush the remaining egg wash all over the surface of the poptart, then make for 20 minutes.
  • While the poptart cools, combine the icing ingredients in a medium bowl. If it seems too thin, add more powdered sugar. If it seems too thick, add a little more milk.
  • Spread the glaze evenly overtop of the cooled poptart. Optionally decorate with sprinkles!
