I have shared quite a few desserts with you at this point , and this one definitely ranks at the very top of the list. There seems to be something extra delicious about taking something that you know you already love the store-bought version of, and making it yourself. I took the easy route when I made these and used a store-bought pie crust and this recipe here. The crust turned out flakey and soft, just as I hoped, and it saved me some valuable time in the kitchen. These are a fun treat to make this weekend with the family, and require only about 15 minutes to whip up a batch if you use ready-made crust. In my opinion they taste the very best when they are still warm and the icing melts a little bit on top, BUT they were still delicious the next day, and the day after that as well!
Enjoy!

I’ve seen homemade pop tarts all over the web. I suppose it’s time to make some myself! These look fab.
