Ingredients

  • 1 package pie crusts
  • 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

For the icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 drops red food coloring
  • 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Roll out the first pie crust on a flat, clean surface.
  • Using an 3x5 index card as a guide, cut out as many rectangles as you can.
  • Repeat for the second pie crust.
  • Collect the scraps, knead them together, and then roll it out.
  • Use the index card to create additional rectangles.
  • You should have about 10 rectangles.
  • Place half of the rectangles on a baking sheet.
  • Spoon about 1.5 tablespoons of raspberry jam into the middle of each rectangle.
  • Spread around the jam into an even layer, leaving about 1/2 inches around the filling.
  • Carefully place a second rectangle on top of each prepared pie crust.
  • Gently push the top and bottom pie crust together, sealing the raspberry filling inside.
  • Use a fork to crimp the edges and use a knife to cut 2 to 3 slits into the top of each pop tart.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to create a wash. Brush the wash over top of each pop tart.
  • Place the cookie tray in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown.
  • Carefully remove the pop tarts from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Once cooled, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla, milk, and red food coloring in a small bowl with a fork or whisk.
  • Spoon a small amount of icing on top each pop tart, spreadng it around with a spoon.
  • Sprinkle the sprinkles over each pop tart and allow the icing to set for about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Serve as a snack, dessert, or breakfast.
