Homemade Blueberry Pop Tarts
This is a guest post from For The Love of Cooking.
I had leftover blueberry pie filling and a couple of pie crusts in the refrigerator. I decided to make my kids an extra special after school snack so I made them homemade blueberry pop tarts. They couldn't be any easier to make, they took little time to cook, and they made my kids VERY HAPPY. You can't beat that!
Blueberry Pop Tarts:Recipe and photos by For the Love of Cooking.net- 1 cup blueberry pie filling
- 2 pie crusts (homemade or store bought)
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.Place the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into squares. Spoon a bit of the blueberry pie filling on one side of the square, making sure not to go to the edges. Fold the dough in half and gently seal the edges with your fingers. Take a fork and crimp the edges of the pop tart closed. Using a knife, carefully trim off the uneven edges.
Slice two little vents into the top of each pop tart. Brush the tops of each pop tart with the egg wash. Sprinkle each pop tart with the raw sugar.
Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a baking rack. Serve warm. Enjoy.

Now all you need is some frosting.
Pshaw, everybody knows that strawberry is the best pop tart flavor (apple strudel just baaarely missing it.)

Thanks for the recipe!
Oh, my! Those look incredible.
yummy
Made these in freshman foods class, fun stuff.
Instead of using blueberry pie filling, you can just use frozen blueberries, add some raw sugar, sugar, stevia, splenda or any combination of them toss it a bit and just put them in the pocket. It's much healthier than using the canned variety and will still come out great. I do something like this for freeform pies.
Hmm.. definitely need to try this with ice cream. =]
