Pop Tarts

Instructions

• Filling: Add all your ingredients, except the butter, into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir until boiling, Boil for about 5 minutes, or until your mixture thickens. Chill your filling in the fridge until it is completely cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Crust: Mix together your salt and flour in a bowl. Cut in your butter and mix together by hand or with a pastry cutter, or in the bowl of your electric mixer. Mix until you have a crumbly mixture with pea-sized chunks. Do not overmix. Add in your water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until you have a soft dough.
• Flour your work surface and roll the dough out thinly. Cut the dough into rectangles, about 2 by 4 inches each. Place 4 of your rectangles on a baking sheet. Leaving the others set aside.
• Spread about 1 tbsp filling on each rectangle. Place ½ tsp of butter over your filling and place a rectangle you have set aside directly over it and flatten the edges together with a fork. Do this with remaining rectangles.
• Brush a thin layer of milk over each pop tart. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is flaky and lightly browned.
• Let cool on cooling racks. After they have cooled, brush icing over top and decorate as desired. Serve.
