Description
Air Fryer Pop Tarts are a fun and easy homemade twist on the classic treat. These flaky pastries are filled with fruit jam, baked to perfection, and topped with a sweet glaze and colorful sprinkles.
Ingredients (Makes 6 pop tarts)
- 1 package refrigerated pie crust (or homemade pie dough)
- 1/2 cup fruit jam (strawberry, raspberry, or your choice)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pie crust and cut it into 12 equal rectangles.
- Add the Filling: Place a small spoonful of jam in the center of 6 rectangles, leaving a border around the edges.
- Seal the Pop Tarts: Brush the edges of the jam-filled rectangles with beaten egg. Place another rectangle on top and press the edges together with a fork to seal. Poke a few small holes on top to allow steam to escape.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Pop Tarts: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place the pop tarts in the basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Decorate: Once the pop tarts have cooled slightly, spread the glaze on top and add sprinkles if desired. Let the glaze set before serving.
