I first thought of this idea for homemade pop-tarts when I was putting together a bunch of care packages for college kids. I wanted to do something homemade and special but brownies and cookies seemed so ordinary. Pop-tarts feel vintage and funky to me, especially ones that are made from scratch.
These are so easy – they are made with piecrusts. You can buy your pie crusts from the grocery store make your own pie dough. But either way you roll out the pie dough very thin, cut into rectangles, put your favorite jam or jelly in between two pieces, crimp the edges and bake! It would be a really fun project with kids. Once the pop-tarts have completely cooled, top with the glaze, add some sprinkles, and they are ready to eat.
Raspberry Lemon Pop-Tarts
- Pie Crust (packaged or homemade)
- Jam (your choice – I used a mix of raspberry jam and lemon curd)
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp of milk
- Sprinkles
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roll dough out into a large square/rectangle; about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Cut rectangle strips 2 inches wide and 3 inches long. Repeat until dough runs out.
- Take one rectangle strip and put 1 tsp of jam in the center, cover with another piece of pie crust and then crimp the edges with a fork. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
- Place pop-tarts on a greased baking sheet and bake for 7-8 mins.
- While pop-tarts are baking, make the glaze. Slowly add small drops of milk to the powdered sugar while stirring with a spoon. Desired consistency should be thick like paste.
- Once pop-tarts have cooled completely, top with glaze. Decorate with sprinkles, as you’d like.
Oh my God! These are so adorable! I will definitely have to make them. I’m going to try blueberry jam with blue sprinkles, those used to be my favorite poptarts.
Wow day, those pop-tart pictures came out awesome. I especially like the first one- how it was off center and you included the pretty napkin.. very artistic of you. Dan wanted to tell you that he likes the blog but was too shy to post a comment saying that you spell “matzo” like a goyem (youll have to ask him what that means) He informed me that yiddish spelling is matzah.
Hey Kell….thanks glad you like the pics. Next time, I make a Jewish recipe, I’ll consult Dan on the spelling. He’s the expert.
Oh, look at these recipes! Beautiful!
I’ve been thinking of making pasta… you may have been the right inspiration.

OMG!!! I love Pop Tarts so much. I consume at least 2 or 3 boxes a week. I made these at home the other day and I fell in love with them. Now, instead of buying boxes of them, I make them!
Thank you so much for this recipe! 🙂
Oh my God, I love this. I am capitalizing God for His inclusion. Thanks to you, I can now have lemony Pop-tarts at home.
