POP CAN BOX RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Sift flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt together into a bowl. Cut in chilled butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles small peas. Add vanilla. Mix in cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together and forms a ball.
• Divide dough into 2 pieces and wrap with plastic wrap; chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Beat softened butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl to make filling.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough into rectangles with a knife. Drop 1 tablespoon of filling onto half of the rectangles. Cover with remaining rectangles. Press edges with a fork to seal. Poke a few holes in the top of each pastry with a toothpick.
• Arrange pastries on the lined baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool pastries on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a small bowl, mix ½ cup jam with cornstarch. Crack the egg into a second small bowl and whisk. Flour a large work surface and lay both pie crusts out on it. Roll the circles to 11 inches across. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the edges off, about 1 inch off all sides, to create two 9-inch squares. Then cut each square into three 3-inch stripes, or 6 total.Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of jam on one end of each strip. Brush a rectangle of egg around the jam, to glue the sides together. Fold the dry end over the end with jam.Use a fork to crimp the edges together on all sides. Repeat with remaining pie crust strips. Move the pop tarts to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden. Cool.After the pop tarts have cooled for several minutes, whisk powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon jam, and 1-2 tablespoons cream together to create an icing glaze. Spoon over the top of each pop tart and immediately sprinkle with sugar sprinkles. Let the icing dry, either on the baking sheets of on a dry rack.Serve warm or at room temperature.
