- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
- Food coloring (optional, for icing decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking.
- Roll out the pie crusts on a floured surface until they’re about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into rectangles about 3×5 inches.
- Add about a tablespoon of raspberry jam in the center of half of the rectangles.
- Seal the remaining rectangles on top of the jam-filled pieces, pressing the edges and crimping with a fork.
- Egg wash by brushing the tops of the Pop Tarts with beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and flaky.
- Cool on a wire rack and decorate as desired once cooled.
Notes
