Homemade "Heart" Poptarts

Original Recipe from Family Fun Magazine, February 2011

Ingredients:

TARTS:

Prepared Piecrust

Jar of Strawberry Jam

1 egg, whisked with 1 t. water

FROSTING:

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 T. water

1 T. softened butter

2 T. light corn syrup

Red food coloring

Sprinkles

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cover cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. On a floured surface, roll piecrust to 1/8 inch thickness. Use a large heart shaped cookie cutter to make pairs of hearts. Gather scraps and re-roll as much as you can.

3. For each tart, spread 1-2 t. of strawberry jam on the heart, leaving a 1/2 inch around the edge. Brush the egg mixture around the edge before putting top pastry heart on top. Use a fork to seal the edges, then brush the tops with the egg mixture.

4. Bake until edges begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Let them rest on the sheet for a few minutes and then move to a rack to cool completely.

5. Whisk first 4 frosting ingredients together until smooth. Add food coloring and mix well. Spoon frosting into ziplock bag, cut a corner and squeeze onto tarts. Top with sprinkles.

Enjoy!
