How to make Air Fryer Pop Tarts
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4 pop tarts
Ingredients
- 1 package of pre-made pie crusts (2 crusts);
- 1/2 cup of your favorite jam or fruit filling;
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash);
- 1 cup powdered sugar;
- 2-3 tablespoons milk;
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract;
- Sprinkles (optional).
Instructions
- Roll out the pre-made pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into rectangles approximately 3 inches by 4 inches.
- Place a tablespoon of jam or fruit filling in the center of half of the rectangles, spreading it out slightly but leaving a border around the edges.
- Brush the beaten egg along the edges of the rectangles with the filling. Place another rectangle on top of each filled rectangle and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place the pop tarts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pop tarts are golden brown and crispy.
- While the pop tarts are cooling, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until you have a smooth icing.
- Once the pop tarts are cool, drizzle the icing over the top and add sprinkles if desired. Let the icing set before serving.
