Homemade Valentine’s Day Pop Tarts

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Remove the pie crust from the fridge and let sit on the counter for about 30 minutes to warm up. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Lightly flour the counter and roll out each pie crust. Use a rolling pin to flatten each pie crust slightly. Use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes. You should be able to get 12 hearts per pie crust.
3. Place 12 hearts on the baking sheet. Leave the other 12 hearts on the counter.
4. Whisk the egg in a bowl. In 2 separate bowls, mix 1 Tbsp cornstarch with the raspberry jam and 1 tbsp cornstarch with the strawberry jam.
5. Brush the hearts on the baking sheet with the egg. Top with approximately 1 Tbsp of the jam mixture; 6 raspberry and 6 strawberry. Place the other 12 hearts on top.
6. Use a fork to press the edges together to seal completely.
7. Use a toothpick to prick a hole in the middle of each pop tart and brush each with the remaining egg.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
10. While the pop tarts cool, make the glaze. Add ½ cup powdered sugar to 2 separate bowls. Add 1 Tbsp half & half to each bowl and stir to combine. Add additional half & half to think out the glaze, as needed. Add 1 drop of red food coloring to one of the bowls and mix to combine to create pink icing.
11. Add the white glaze to 6 hearts and the pink glaze to the other 6 hearts. Top each with sprinkles.
12. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container on the counter.
