2 Ingredient Plum Jam Pop-Tarts

Two ingredients and 15-minutes are all you need to make yourself some semi-homemade Pop-Tarts!  It really doesn’t get any easier than this recipe and you can totally customize it to the flavors you love.  Who needs a toaster, when you can have piping hot Pop-Tarts straight from the oven?!

I first discovered Jamnation Jams because of Foodlyn, who had sent me three jars of their delicious jam several months ago.  I used those jars to make Oatmeal Jam Bars, Peanut Butter and Jam Blondie Bars, and Vanilla Greek Yogurt Loaf Cake with Berry Jam Glaze.  So when I saw on Instagram that Gillian, at Jamnation Jams, had just finished creating some new flavors of jam, I knew I had to get my hands on a jar!  Gillian sent me a jar of one of her newest jams: Plum and Get It.  The jam is “king flavor plot jam with honeysuckle essence.”  Damn good jam that you just can’t buy off the supermarket shelf!

So to make something completely different than anything I have on the blog, I decided on an easy, two ingredient Pop-Tart to showcase this yummy jam.  All you need is a package of refrigerated pie crust and a jar of thick jam.  I obviously recommend the jams from Jamnation, but you can use your favorite jam.  Also, this recipe is perfect for those of you that can your own jams, and are looking for different recipes to use up your jam bounty!

The package of pie crust comes with two rounds.  Roll out one of the rounds on parchment paper, and keep the second round in the refrigerator until you are ready to roll it out.  Cold pastry dough is so much easier to work with.

I cut my Pop-Tarts into approximately 2-inch by 3-inch rectangles. Make yours as big, or small, as you like

Add a teaspoon of thick jam onto the middle of one of the rectangles.  Don’t add too much jam, or it will ooze out.  So depending on the size of your Pop-Tarts, you may need to add more of less jam to the middle.

Add the top piece of crust to the piece of crust with jam on it, and use your fingers to secure the edges of the two crust pieces together.  Use a pastry wheel, or a fork, to crimp the edges of the Pop-Tart.  Now you are ready to bake!

Fresh out of the oven and ready to be eaten!  Adding the icing on top isn’t even necessary to be honest….James said he would actually prefer them without the icing, so he could get the pure taste of the jam filling.  So the choice is yours!

I just couldn’t resist the urge to make purple icing and then add sprinkles on top of my Pop-Tarts though…

So there ya go!  Super easy, homemade Pop-Tarts that kids (and adults) will love!  Do you like Pop-Tarts?  What’s your favorite flavor??  How do you feel about semi-homemade recipes like these??  Leave me a comment below!

XOXO,

Yeah…my icing layer was almost as thick as the actual Pop-Tart.  Sorry??? 😉
