Ingredients
2 pre-made pie crusts
10-12oz fresh strawberries, chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 Cup powdered sugar
1-2 Tablespoons milk
Optional: Food coloring for glaze and sprinkles
Preparation
Strawberry Filling
1. In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let it cool completely before using.
Assembly
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out one pre-made dough
3. Place your strawberry filling in the middle leaving a 1in to 1/2in gap from the edge.
4. Brush the edges with egg wash, then place the second pre-made dough on top.
5. Press the edges together with a fork to seal and poke a few holes on top to allow steam to escape.
6. Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish
7. Bake the Pop-Tarts for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack.
