Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ready-to-bake pie crusts
- 1.5 cups (360 milliliters) strawberry preserves
Topping Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) softened butter
- 2 cups (240 grams) powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) milk
- Sprinkles (for garnish)
Instructions
- Craft a unified pie crust foundation by merging two pastry sheets on a clean work surface, ensuring a seamless rectangular shape that matches your sheet pan dimensions.
- Gently transfer the rolled dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet, positioning it with precision and care.
- Distribute strawberry preserves across the dough’s central region, maintaining a modest border around the edges to prevent overflow during baking.
- Layer the second pastry sheet atop the jam-covered base, aligning edges meticulously to create a symmetrical envelope.
- Secure the perimeter by pressing edges together with fingertips, then enhance the seal by creating decorative fork impressions around the entire circumference.
- Perforate the top crust with delicate punctures using a toothpick, allowing steam to escape and preventing potential structural bubbling.
- Tenderly brush the entire surface with softened butter, promoting a golden, glossy appearance during the baking process.
- Position the sheet pan in a preheated oven set at 375°F, rotating midway through the 25-minute cooking duration to ensure uniform browning.
- While the pastry cools, whisk powdered sugar and milk into a smooth, luxurious icing consistency.
- Elegantly drizzle the icing across the center, leaving the crimped edges exposed, and immediately garnish with a sprinkle of colorful decorations.
- Slice the grand pop tart into individual servings and savor the homemade delicacy.
Notes
- Prepare ahead by having all ingredients and tools ready before starting to make the sheet pan pop tart.
- Rolling pie crusts together creates a seamless, large pastry base perfect for a family-sized treat.
- Leaving a 1-inch border around the edges prevents jam from leaking and ensures a clean seal.
- Crimping edges with a fork is crucial for keeping the sweet strawberry filling securely inside the pastry.
- Poking steam vents prevents the crust from becoming soggy and helps achieve a crispy, golden-brown texture.
- Rotating the pan midway through baking ensures even browning and prevents any potential burning on one side.
