In reality, it\u2019s a dessert disguised as breakfast, but I\u2019m here for it. These easy Homemade Pop Tarts are free of all those mysterious, hard-to-pronounce ingredients (and no high fructose corn syrup!) and utilize pantry staples you probably already have on hand! For me, it required zero trips to the store and resulted in a super cute, budget-friendly treat my family loves. I couldn\u2019t decide on just one flavor, so I made two different fillings, and I\u2019m sharing both here with you today!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PopTarts_V1.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead view of homemade pop tarts next to a bowl of sprinkles.\" class=\"wp-image-124058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PopTarts_V1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PopTarts_V1-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PopTarts_V1-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PopTarts_V1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PopTarts_V1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PopTarts_V1.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"block-area block-area-after-first-image\">\n<div class=\"dpsp-post-pinterest-image-hidden\" style=\"display: none;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Homemade-Pop-Tarts-PIN2.jpg\" data-pin-description=\"These easy Homemade Pop Tarts are made with pie crust and simple pantry ingredients (no corn syrup or preservatives).

I discovered a box of pie crusts left over from the holidays in my freezer. Then, I raided the refrigerator and found blueberry jam at the back\u2026and this copycat homemade Pop Tart recipe was born! Let me tell you, my daughter was thrilled with these! We also ended up making a batch for her babysitter\u2019s family. <em>Huge<\/em> hit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-callout icon-callout\">\n<div class=\"block-callout__innerBlocks\">\n<p>In retrospect, you could easily keep the circular pie shape and cut it into pie-like slices or cut your rectangular dough shapes into smaller squares to get more servings for your money.

Any more than that, and it gets tricky to close them up properly. Too much filling can also squeeze out the sides during baking or cause the top crust to tear while sealing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leave a gap around the edges.<\/strong> Be sure to leave a little border when adding your filling. Then, gently pierce the tops with a fork or toothpick before baking. This helps release steam and keeps the crust from getting soggy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crimp the wedges well.<\/strong> Use a fork to seal the edges all the way around. If a little filling spills out during baking, don\u2019t stress! That\u2019s exactly why we line the baking sheet. Once cooled, any overflow will separate easily from the tarts, and the parchment paper will make it simple to clean up!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use up any pie crust scraps.<\/strong> If you\u2019ve got any little off-cuts from shaping the dough, don\u2019t toss them! Cut them into shapes or strips and bake them into quick pie crust cookies.

Use \u00bc cup of jam as listed in the recipe card above. I\u2019d also add 1 teaspoon of corn starch if the jam is quite runny, just to thicken it up some.

If your kitchen runs warm or you\u2019re storing frosted pies, it\u2019s best to keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3\u20134 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2\u20133 months. I recommend freezing them unfrosted for the best results since the frosting can get a little sticky or runny when thawed. Let them thaw in the fridge, then reheat in the toaster oven, air fryer, oven at 350\u00b0F, or microwave if desired.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cp-load-after-post\"\/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing screams nostalgia more than a Pop Tart.
