Homemade Peach Pop Tarts have a flaky pastry filled with peach pie filling, iced with a maple glaze. This copycat recipe is SO much better than the store-bought version!
Ingredients for Homemade Pop Tarts
CRUST – can swap for store bought crust for a short cut
- Butter – I like to use a cheese shredder with cold butter
- Flour – All purpose flour works best for a flaky curst
- Salt – Helps to balance sweetness
- Water – Ice cold to prevent the butter from melting.
- Egg – for brushing the crust with an egg wash.
FILLING – can swap with store bought peach pie filling for a short cut
- Peach – diced or sliced depending on how you want it
- Butter – for sautéing
- Brown Sugar – for a sweet filling
- Cinnamon – for spice
- Cornstarch – to thicken the filling
GLAZE
- Powdered sugar – for a sweet glaze
- Maple Syrup – for a maple flavoring
- Heavy Cream – to get to the perfect consistency
How to Make Homemade Pop Tarts
FILLING
- In a skillet add diced peach, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and corn starch. Mix to combine.
- Cook over medium heat until peaches have softened and the mixture has thickened.
- Remove from heat and set aside for later.
CRUST
- Preheat oven to 425.
- In a large bowl combine flour and salt.
- Add in cubed or shredded butter and combine until a crumbly mixture forms.
- Add 4 tbsp of ice water to the mixture and mix to combine. Adding in more water if needed.
- Roll dough to desired thickness and cut into rectangles. I like mine about 3”x4”.
- Add 1-2 tbsp of peach mixture to half of the rectangles. Top each rectangle with remaining rectangles.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges and place onto a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pastries.
- In a small bowl combine egg and 1 tbsp water. Mix to combine and brush on top of each pop tart.
- Bake 12-15 minutes.
- Combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Mix to combine.
