Description

A playful twist on the classic Pop-Tart, this Strawberry Pop-Tart Pie combines a flaky crust with a sweet, tangy strawberry filling and a sugary glaze. It’s a nostalgic dessert that’s quick, easy, and guaranteed to impress!


Ingredients

  • Store-bought pie crust (or homemade if preferred): 2 (9-inch) crusts
  • Pop-Tarts (Strawberry flavor, or your choice): 2-3 Pop-Tarts
  • Strawberry jam or preserves: 1/2 cup (120g)
  • Butter (melted): 2 tablespoons (30g)
  • Powdered sugar: 1/2 cup (60g)
  • Milk: 2 tablespoons (30ml) (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Crust:
    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the first pie crust into a 9-inch circle and place it in a pie dish. Press the edges to fit the dish snugly and set aside.
  2. Layer the Pop-Tarts:
    Slice 2-3 Pop-Tarts into thin pieces and place them evenly over the bottom of the pie crust to form a single layer.
  3. Add the Strawberry Jam:
    Spoon a generous layer of strawberry jam or preserves over the Pop-Tarts, spreading it evenly but leaving room around the edges.
  4. Top with Another Crust:
    Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the top. Pinch the edges together to seal and crimp with a fork. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  5. Brush with Butter:
    Brush the top crust with melted butter for a golden finish.
  6. Bake the Pie:
    Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and flaky. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  7. Glaze and Serve:
    Mix powdered sugar and milk to make a simple glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the pie, and optionally, add sprinkles or extra crushed Pop-Tart crumbs on top. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Flavor Variations: Feel free to try different Pop-Tart flavors like blueberry, cherry, or even cinnamon.
  • Make-Ahead: You can assemble the pie a day ahead and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free pie crust and ensure the Pop-Tarts are gluten-free if needed.
