I started with pie crust made with whole wheat pastry flour (you can use any pie crust recipe or use the pre-made stuff), rolled it out, and cut it into 3x4 rectangles.
I toped each one with either homemade apple butter or raspberry jam (you can use any filling you think sounds good, be creative! My kids were thinking of all sorts of possibilities, but I kept it simple).
I placed another rectangle of dough on each one and pressed the edges together and pierced each one with a fork. Then I baked them up (400 for about 15 minutes seemed to do just right).
After they had cooled a bit I frosted them all and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on the apple ones and multi colored sprinkles on the raspberry ones.
The kids were more than happy to gobble these up for breakfast this morning!
These look delicious! I love that you used whole wheat pastry flour (which for some reason is not sold anywhere around here!) The kids look happy! Mine would be thrilled since I never buy PopTarts.
ReplyDeleteI have not even looked to see if it is sold around here, I ground my own using soft white wheat. A wheat grinder is a great investment!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try these! What a fun treat! And such a healthier solution to the "normal" box Pop Tarts! Thanks so much for sharing these! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I would never have thought to try to make these. How fun! Thanks for sharing at For the Kids Fridays! I'm off to share this with my Facebook friends. :)
ReplyDeleteGabe- You are amazing! You pick the yummiest things to make! How are you feeling my friend?
ReplyDeleteRebecca- Thanks! I'm doing well, other than a cold that has me down a bit. I'm starting to feel the third trimester; though I think I've still got a few good weeks left in me! How are you doing?
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I have to try these. Thanks for sharing them at For the Kids Fridays! I have featured your post on this week's link party! Stop by and grab an A++ button. LOVE to have you sharing with us again this week. And... starting this Monday, I invite you to come share at Super Mom Mondays!
ReplyDeleteyum!!! i used to eat a poptart as a snack after school every day. i might have to make these to cure the craving i've had for the last 20 years! ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for the recipe. Next time I'll do homemade buttery crust. Great this way though when you need something quick! I am thinking Smucker's Hot Fudge Sauce for ice cream and peanut butter as a filling...reese's cup pop-tart :)
ReplyDeleteThanks again,
Rhonda Kay
Those look delicious!

Looks yummy. I would love to try the healthy version as well as this treat version!
ReplyDeletewhat did you use for the frosting?
ReplyDeleteThe frosting is just powdered sugar, water or milk, and vanilla mixed together.
