Servings 8 pop tarts

Ingredients

For pop tarts:

  • 1 box refrigerated pie crust 2 crusts
  • cup berry jam
  • 1 large egg

For icing:

  • 1-½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk as needed
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 drop pink food coloring optional (see notes)
  • 2 tablespoons sprinkles

Instructions

For the Pop Tarts 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F for 5 minutes. 
  • Unroll the pie crusts out onto a lightly floured surface and cut out as many 2x3 inch rectangles as you can - you should be able to get about 6 per crust. 
  • Gather any scraps of dough and re-roll them to an ⅛ inch thick.
  • Cut out as many rectangles as you can again– you should be able to get about 4 more. 
  • Place 2 teaspoons of jam into the center of one piece of dough and then place another rectangle on top.
  • Pinch the edges to seal in the jam.
  • Poke the top of the pop tart with a fork to create a vent and then crimp the edges with a fork to make sure they are fully sealed.
  • Repeat with the remaining pop tarts. 
  • Beat the egg with a splash of water to form an egg wash and then brush the egg wash over the top of each pop tart.
  •  
  • Place a few pop tarts into the prepared air fryer, making sure not to overcrowd the basket – you may need to cook multiple batches.
  • Cook at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until the pop tarts are golden brown and crisp.
  • Transfer the pop tarts to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before frosting. 

For the Frosting 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, vanilla extract, and food coloring.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add the second tablespoon of milk. 
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled pop tarts and immediately top with sprinkles. 
  • Allow the frosting to set completely– about 10 minutes.
