Ingredients
  

Pop Tarts :

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour for sprinkling on the counter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup butter cold
  • 1/2 cup water cool
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Center filling:

  • 1 cup grape jelly or your favorite flavor
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

Frosting:

  • 2 tablespoons Grape Jelly (or your favorite flavor)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Pop Tart

  • In a large mixing bowl (I used my electric mixer bowl) combine flour, sugar and mix together. Add butter and mix using mixer on medium-high until it’s all mixed together. Add water, vanilla, and mix on low until it’s a dough like consistency. Be sure no to over mix at this point.
  • Ball up dough, place in a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap and allow to chill for about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 and prepare a large cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle flour over your clean working surface, roll out dough until it is in a rectangle shape and about ¼” thick or so.
  • Now you can use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes you like, or you can make them into equal rectangles. If you have dough left over, be sure to roll it out and make a few more.

Filling

  • Combine Jelly, Cornstarch and mix.
  • Add the bottom half of the pop tarts to the cookie sheet.  I used two cookie sheets.  Add 1-2 tablespoons (depending on the size of your pop tarts) of the jelly and cornstarch mixture in the center of the pop tart. Be sure to leave the edge of the pop tart free from the jelly mixture.
  • Beat egg and brush it on the edge of the pop tart to help glue it together. Press edges together using a fork. You want to do this before the egg sets in on the dough.
  • Poke about 6 holes in the top of the pop tart to keep jelly filling from escaping out the sides.
  • Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Frosting

  • Combine powder sugar, whipping cream and jelly and mix completely.
  • Frost each pop tart and add your favorite sprinkles.
