Started with pie crust, as that’s what most homemade versions use, but it wasn’t quite the Pop-Tart texture I was going for. Switched to a sweet, tender shortcrust pastry and that seemed to work. Brown sugar cinnamon filling, finished with a cinnamon royal icing and sanding sugar.

    It’s absolutely takes me back to childhood, and suddenly I want all of these!

    You did an outstanding job!

    Wow! These are the most “pop tart” looking homemade pop tarts I’ve seen. They look really good! The uniform sizing and even frosting is very satisfying to look at. 🤗

    I can practically smell the brown sugar and cinnamon through the screen. There is nothing better than a warm, frosted cookie like this.

    Literally the only homemade pop tarts I’ve seen that look like the real thing. Cheers!

    I thought they were actual pop tarts at first!

    These look so perfect! They look so much better than the packaged ones they make nowadays!

    I made strawberry pop tarts this week and while incredibly delicious, almost all of them leaked despite only using the specified filling amount. Could you share any tips?

    Did you use a cutter to make them so uniform or was it freehand?

    Also, how did you prevent any filling from leaking out?

    This is what pop tarts should actually look like. Great job OP!
