Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 6 pop tarts
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ball of whole wheat pie crust I made it 100% whole wheat using 1 cup of white whole wheat and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour or your favorite pre-made or store-bought pie crust
  • Your favorite jelly jam, preserves, or fruit butters (I used blueberry jam and pumpkin butter)
  • 1 egg
  • sugar in the raw for sprinkling

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Roll out the pie crust into a large, thin rectangle.
  3. Using either a knife or a pasta cutter, cut out equal-sized rectangles.
  4. Lay pairs of the rectangles onto a parchment paper or silpat covered baking sheet.
  5. Spread your favorite jelly, jam, or fruit butter in a thin layer on the pastry, leaving a boarder of crust to press the pastry together. Optional: brush some water or egg wash along the edges for extra hold.
  6. Lay the matching pastry on top of the jam covered pastry.
  7. Using a fork, push down the sides of the rectangles together, locking the jam inside.
  8. Beat the egg in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg on the top of the pastries.
  9. Sprinkle with some raw sugar.
  10. With a fork, poke a few holes in the top of each pastry.
  11. Bake for 20 minutes, until light golden brown.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
  13. Once cooled completely, store in an air tight container. Enjoy!

Notes

You can use any filling you like: cinnamon sugar, peanut butter, nutella, marshmallow fluff, any jams or jellies. Try peanut butter, sliced banana and chocolate chips!
