Giant Pop Tart ingredients

• ½ to ¾ cup strawberry jam
• 1–2 tablespoons melted butter or 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tablespoons milk
• Optional: food coloring or 1–2 teaspoons jam for the glaze and sprinkles for a colorful top
How to make a Pop Tart Pie
Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unroll one pie crust and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
• Spread strawberry jam evenly over the crust, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
• Place the second pie crust on top and gently press the edges together, sealing with a fork.
• Use a fork to pierce around the top to release steam.
• Brush the top with melted butter or egg wash.
• Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven and cool for 10–15 minutes.
• Whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth, adding food coloring or jam if desired.
• Spread glaze over the warm Pop-Tart. Add colorful sprinkles. Allow it to set, then slice and serve.
Pop Tart Filling Variations to Try:
– Raspberry, blueberry, or mixed berry jam
– Brown sugar and cinnamon mixed with butter
– Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
– Chopped apple pie filling
– Cherry pie filling
– Peanut butter and jelly
– Sweetened cream cheese topped with fruit jam
