Craving a nostalgic treat with a modern twist? These Air Fryer Pop Tarts are perfectly flaky, sweet, and oh-so-easy to make! With a golden crust, a gooey filling of your choice, and a simple glaze, this homemade version is even better than the store-bought ones.
Ingredients:
- 1 package pre-made pie crusts (or homemade, if preferred)
- Your favorite jam, fruit preserves, or Nutella
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp milk
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the crust:
- Roll out the pie crust and cut it into equal-sized rectangles (about 4×3 inches).
- You’ll need two rectangles per Pop Tart.
2. Add the filling:
- Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen filling into the center of one rectangle, leaving space around the edges for sealing.
3. Seal the edges:
- Place a second rectangle over the filling.
- Use a fork to press the edges together, sealing the filling inside.
4. Brush with egg wash:
- Beat the egg and lightly brush it over the top of each Pop Tart for a golden finish.
5. Air fry:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the Pop Tarts in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Make the glaze:
- Mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more sugar or milk if needed.
7. Decorate and enjoy:
- Let the Pop Tarts cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze and top with sprinkles.
- Serve warm or at room temperature!
