Make Gluten-Free Pop Tarts With Pie Crusts!

Make Gluten-free Pop Tarts WitH Pie Crusts!

This recipe for gluten-free pop tarts is so easy, because you can use store- bought crusts!

We made these pop tarts using both Gillian’s pie crust, which is egg-free, and Maine Pie Company Pie Crust, which contains egg. However, you can also make them using your own homemade pie crust, which can be vegan! 

Ingredients

• 2 GF pie crusts (purchased or homemade)
• 1 tablespoon corn starch
• 1 egg, beaten (can leave this out or use milk/non-dairy milk instead)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 4 teaspoons milk or non-dairy milk
• 1/2 cup jam, your choice
• Sprinkles or frosting

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine jam with the cornstarch. (it needs to be thickened for this recipe!)
3. Remove the crusts from the packaging and lay them flat. Shape them into two rectangles. It might get crumbly, but keep squishing and rolling with a rolling pin. Add GF flour if necessary. Slice each rectangle lengthwise into 3 long strips each. The egg-free crusts will be more crumbly and harder to handle, but it will work!
4. Place a heaping tablespoon of jam onto the bottom of all 6 rectangles. Leave about 1/2″ space around the edges. Brush the edges around the jam with the beaten egg.
5. Fold each rectangle in half and use a fork to seal the seams. If any of the dough breaks or cracks, just pinch it to seal. Place each pop tart onto the baking sheet.
6. Using a fork, poke holes in the top of each pop tart to release steam. Brush with egg wash or milk, or non-dairy milk.
7. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.
8. Make frosting by mixing the milk and powdered sugar. Add more milk if too thick. Use a piping bag or drizzle the frosting onto the pop tarts and add sprinkles if desired.
