Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cookie Cutter
  • Cooling Rack
  • Fork

Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz Pie Crust store bought or homemade
  • 3 drops Green Gel Food Coloring
  • 5 oz Jelly Preserve any flavor, strawberry used here
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 drops Orange Gel Food Coloring
  • 1 Egg whisked

Instructions
 

  • If using homemade dough, add in green food coloring until your desired color after adding in your ice water. If using store bought, roll your dough into a ball. Add your food coloring until your desired color. Knead with your hands or a stand mixer until fully incorporated.
  • Lay your pie crust out flat on a lightly floured surface. With your cookie cutter cut out as many shapes you can with the amount of pie crust you have.
  • On one of the circle crusts, take 1 tablespoon of your jelly preserve, and place it in the middle. Spread it out evenly. Make sure to leave room around the edges.
  • Taking your finger, dip it in the egg wash, and evenly spread the egg wash around the edges surrounding the jelly.
  • Place another circle shaped pie crust on top of the other with the jelly on it. Using a fork press down the edges creating a seal.
  • Using a kitchen brush, dip it in the egg wash and top the rest of your circle shape with the egg wash.
  • Using a fork or toothpick, poke about 6 to 8 holes in the top of your top layer pastry.
  • Cook your pop tart at 370° for 7 minutes. Once the timer is done, open your air fryer, and flip your pop tarts. Continue to cook at 370° for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until it has reached a soft brown color.
  • Remove from the air fryer, and transfer to a cooling rack.
  • While your pastries are cooling, mix together your powdered sugar, milk, and orange food coloring (you can add more or less depending on the shade of icing you prefer). You can choose to add more powdered sugar if you like your icing thicker, or more milk if you like your icing thinner.
