Homemade Pop-Tarts

Remember your college days when you woke up late, had to rush to your 8am class, and realized you were starving and had no time to make breakfast? What was the one thing that you'd always run to? POP-TARTS! C'mon, everyone likes those things. My favorite has always been the brown sugar and cinnamon ones. I still like them today! Anyway, I found an awesome recipe for homemade ones. They obviously take more time than the popular prepackaged ones, but they're very tasty!

Homemade Pop-Tarts:
1 premade pie crust
Butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 egg, beaten

Strawberry Filling:
¾ cup strawberry jam (or whatever flavor you’d like)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with silpat mat or wax paper.
2. Place the dough on a cutting board. Cut the dough into 4 squares. Roll the cut strips of dough out and make one more square.
3. Mix the cinnamon and sugar until well combined. Spread butter on one side of the square. Spoon a bit of the cinnamon mixture on top of the butter.
4. Fold the dough in half and gently seal the edges with your hands. Take a fork and crimp the edges of the pop-tart closed.
5. Slice a little vent onto the top of each pop-tart. Brush the tops with the egg wash. Sprinkle each one with some of the raw brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
6. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on a baking rack. Serve warm.
