ingredients
For the Pastry & Filling
- 1 package gluten free puff pastry
- Egg wash, (recipe below)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°. If frozen, allow puff pastry to thaw. Once completely thawed, gently unroll and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Step 2
Using a paring knife or pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into 6 equal rectangular sections.
Step 3
Brush the edges of each puff pastry section with egg wash (this serves as glue and helps to seal them up tightly for baking).
Step 4
Add the strawberries, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a bowl, and stir until combined and the berries are evenly coated.
Step 5
Distribute the filling evenly into 3 of puff pastry sections, leaving enough room on the perimeter of each to be able to seal tightly.
Step 6
Place the remaining puff pastry sections over the crumb prepped ones.
Step 7
Using a fork, press down on the edges of each prepped pop tart to seal the edges tightly.
Step 8
Bake for 25 minutes, and allow to cool for at least one hour after baking (to prevent the frosting from melting too much).
Step 9
Distribute the frosting (recipe options below) evenly among the cooled pop tarts and sprinkle each with sprinkles. Allow to harden for 10 minutes. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
