Equipment

  • 1 Chef's Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Sheet Tray
  • Parchment Paper
  • 1 Small Saucepan
  • 1 Immersion or Standard Blender
  • 2 Small Bowls
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 heat resistant spoon
  • 1 Fork

Ingredients
  

For the Pop-Tarts

  • 1 box Pie or Puff Pastry Dough
  • 1/2 cup Mixed Berries fresh or frozen
  • 1/3 cup Water
  • 2-4 tbsp Sugar

For the Icing

  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
  • Powdered Sugar as needed
  • Sprinkles optional decoration

Instructions
 

  •  Bring the berries, water and sugar to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Puree together. (Sauce should be thickened to be more like a paste). 
  • For the dough roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick. To cut you will need to either measure and cut or use a shaped cutter (this will depend on what shape you would like). You will need 2 pieces of dough per pop tart. 
  •  Lay out the bottom layer and spoon in some of the berry sauce in the center, making sure that leave a border around it to seal them closed. Using a brush or your finger, dampened with water, brush along the edge of the dough (this will help seal the pop tarts, you may want a small bowl of water to do this).
  •  After that place the top dough layer on and gently smooth along the edges to make sure to get any air pockets out. Next use a fork to crimp the dough along the edges to fully seal the pop tarts. Gently use the fork to prick the pop tarts over where the sauce is (only once or twice).
  • Bake at 375 F for about 15 minutes. The pop tarts should be golden and cooked through, remove from the oven to cool. 
  •  For the icing mix the lemon juice and powdered sugar together until smooth and thick. Once cool spoon the icing over top, add sprinkles, and let it dry.
