Instructions
1
|
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2
|
Roll the pie crust 1/4 inch thick and cut into rectangles, about 2×3 inches. Use a ruler if necessary.
3
|
Place one rectangle on a lightly floured work surface, top with 1 teaspoon each of the peanut butter and preserves in the very center.
4
|
Lightly dip your index finger into a cup of water and “brush” the border of the dough around the filling with the water. This will allow the two sides of the rectangle to adhere to one another.
5
|
Top with another rectangular piece of pie dough. Take the tines of a fork and gently press down along the edges to adhere making sure the mixture stays inside the tart.
6
|
Using a fork or toothpick, poke a few small holes in the tops of the pastry to allow steam to escape.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Your Dough First ❄️Refrigerate your pie dough for at least 30 minutes before cutting and filling to prevent shrinkage and ensure flaky, crispy edges that won't puff unevenly during baking.
- Create a Proper Seal 🔒Use a fork to press and crimp all edges firmly, then brush with water before sealing to prevent filling from leaking out and ensure the pastry stays together during baking.
- Balance Your Filling Ratio 🥜Use approximately 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and 1 teaspoon of preserves per pop tart to avoid over-filling, which causes bursting and uneven cooking.
- Egg Wash for Golden Color ✨Brush a thin layer of beaten egg white mixed with water over the top before baking to achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior and professional appearance.
- Cool Before Serving 🍪Allow pop tarts to cool for 5 minutes after baking so the filling sets properly and won't ooze out when bitten, while still maintaining a warm, flaky texture.
