Best Air Fryer Pop-Tart
These Air Fryer Pop-Tarts are golden, flaky, and packed with your favorite fillings. The air fryer creates a crisp, buttery crust while keeping the inside warm and gooey. Customize them with fruit, chocolate, or nut butter for a homemade treat that’s even better than store-bought.
Equipment
- Air-fryer For even and crispy cooking
- Rolling Pin For flattening pastry dough
- Fork For sealing the edges
- Pastry brush For applying egg wash
- Mixing bowl For making the glaze
Ingredients
- 1 package pie crust or homemade pastry dough
- ⅓ cup fruit jam strawberry, raspberry, or your choice
- 1 egg beaten, for egg wash
- ½ cup powdered sugar for the glaze
- 1 tablespoon milk for the glaze
- 1 tablespoon sprinkles optional, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) to ensure even cooking.
- Roll out the pie crust and cut into equal-sized rectangles.
- Spoon a small amount of jam into the center of half of the rectangles, keeping the edges clear.
- Place the remaining pastry rectangles over the filled ones and press the edges together.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges to seal the Pop-Tarts completely.
- Brush the tops with egg wash to create a golden, flaky crust.
- Place the Pop-Tarts in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Let the Pop-Tarts cool before glazing.
- Mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled Pop-Tarts.
- Top with sprinkles if desired and let the glaze set before serving.
Notes
- For a chocolate version, replace the jam with Nutella or melted chocolate.
- If using fresh fruit, blend with a bit of sugar to thicken before using as a filling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes.
