Valentine's 2016 (Homemade Pop Tarts )


We had a fun cousin sleepover today for Valentine's Day.  We made our traditional heart pizza's and I wanted to try out a new recipe- homemade pop tarts.  I added strawberry slices to look like hearts.  These were super easy to make and delicious.

Heart Pop tarts-

Ingredients:

*Pie Crust sheets
*Strawberries
*Cream Cheese
*Coarse Sugar  ( I prefer turbinado)
*Eggwash
*Strawberry jam

Directions- Preheat over to 375* line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Cut shapes with pie crust to form pop tart.  Spread a few tbs of cream cheese and a dollop of jam onto bottom piecrust pieces.  Cut out heart shape with cookie cutter on the top pieces of pie crust and place on top of each pop tart.  Slice strawberries and add them to the opening on each pop tart.  Brush each poptart with eggwash and sprinkle on sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes.

I hope you enjoy these as much as we did!! Happy Valentine's Day!
