Homemade Poptarts



Pie Crust
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
  • 1 cup (2 sticks or 8 ounces) unsalted butter, very-cold, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (you may also use Smart Balance or Margarine)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 6 to 8 Tbsp ice water
In a food processor: combine dry ingredients and pulse to mix. Add in butter in small cubes and pulse until the dough is a curd consistency. Add in water a little at a time until the dough forms.

By hand: mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Using a fork or your hands mix in butter until its a curd consistency. Add in water a little at a time until the dough forms.

Chill in the fridge for 10 mins.

Roll out to 1/8 inch thick sheet and cut into even rectangles. You may cut shapes into one side if you like.

Spread Pumpkin Butter, Apple Butter, or Jam onto the middle of one side of the pie rectangle. Place the other pie sheet on top and seal by pressing the sides with a fork. Bake in oven @ 350 for 20 min.

if adding sprinkles (like in the photo above) wipe tarts with an egg wash and then sprinkle.
