I'm tellin' ya, these Homemade Pop Tarts, are a crowd pleaser.
Tonight I must share this recipe I got from the Once A Month Mom website. It did not disappoint. Want the details? Here we go...
You will need:
-1 box of refrigerated (or homemade) Pie Crust.
-Your favorite jelly
-Powdered sugar & milk for icing. (optional)
I rolled a premade pie crust out, and cut it in to 4 squares/rectangles. Save the ends for another couple squares. Then I put a spoonful of Strawberry Jelly on each.
I used an Organic Reduced Sugar Jelly from Trader Joe's. I prefer my girls not be addicted to High Fructose Corn Syrup if at all possible, so I try to cut it out when I can. But any jelly will do.
I folded the squares over, and sealed the edges with a fork.
Baked them at 450 degrees for 10-12min, and let them cool. The recipe gives an option for icing, which you can find here. I made a few with the icing and the rest without it. The girls loved them plain, so I figured why put it on? Here they are both ways...

Must try these. My family loves pop tarts. I think they're nasty. But I think I could get additcted to those.
Mmm these look fantastic!
I will definitely give these a try. But ... I'll be using homemade pie crust (grandma's recipe) and homemade jam (we put up 150 quarts last year).
Yummm ...

I may have to give this one a shot...L loves her some pop tarts, but I don't really like to buy them due to the ingredients, so these are a great alternative....and look VERY tasty!

I'm glad they worked! :) And that the girls liked them. I prefer them without the icing too.
