Pop Tart

Ingredients

Pie dough (can buy prepared, but suggest you make your own)
Cherry Jam (or whatever jam you like)
1 teaspoon egg mixed with 1 of water, mixed well
1 tablespoon of granulated sugar

Preparation

1
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat
3
Floor your board very well. Roll your pie dough out to to 12X8. Using a floured knife, cut the dough into mini-rectangles that are about 3X4 inches. You should have 8 mini-rectangles – enough to make a total of 4 pop tarts.
4
Place about 2 tablespoons of jam in the middle of 4 of the mini-rectangles.
5
Then, place the jam-less rectangles on top of the jam-filled rectangles
6
Press the edges of the tarts with a floured fork to seal the edges.
7
Poke a couple of small holes on top of the tarts with your fork to allow steam to escape.
8
Lightly brush the tops of the tarts with the egg wash.
9
Then sprinkle each tart with sugar.
10
Place in oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tarts are brown along the edges and the jam has oozed out a bit!
11
Cool for about 5 minutes and then eat with tea!

About

In the whirlwind of excitement, I decided to make some homemade pop-tarts. Random, I know. I took the scraps I had left from the dough I used to make the French Apple Tart. While it certainly isn’t the most gorgeous looking pop-tart on the planet, it was a quick and delicious way to make use of scraps. I used cherry jam, but please feel free to use whatever suits your fancy.
