GIANT STRAWBERRY POP TART

 

Okay so when I was younger, I used to love Pop Tarts! I loved all of them, but my two favorites were the strawberry filled ones and the frosted brown sugar cinnamon ones! I have a recipe one the way coming for the brown sugar pop tarts, but this strawberry one is a must! It’s also if the perfect treat to have when all the kids are over, or for a large brunch gathering! 

Ingredients:

~ 4 Pillsbury pie crusts ( 2 boxes; before rolling them out let them get to room temperature)

~ 1.5-2 cups strawberry preserves (or whatever filling you like)

~ 1-2 tbsp softened butter or egg wash 

~ Sprinkles for topping 

For the icing:

~ 1 cup powdered sugar 

~ 2 tbsp cold milk or heavy cream

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Place 2 of your pie crusts on top of each other and using a rolling pin roll them out 
3. Cut a rectangle out of your dough (repeat with the second two sheets of dough) 
4. Place your first rectangle on parchment paper and spread your filling evenly on top (make sure to leave 1/2”-1” border around the edges
5. Place your second rectangle on top of the first one with your filling on it 
6. Seal up around the edges with your fingers and then use a fork to press down to ensure no filling comes out during baking
7. Poke some holes in the top with a tooth pick or fork 
8. Brush your softened butter over the whole pop tart and bake for 20-25 min or until nice and golden! Mine was in there for 25! 
9. Take it out and let cool
10. While your pop tart is cooling make your icing 
11. In a bowl add your powdered sugar and milk and whisk it up 
12. Pour over top your pop tart and top with sprinkles or whatever else you’d like 
13. Cut it up and enjoy 
14. You can store it in an air tight container on the counter or in your fridge
