Equipment

  • 1 heart cookie cutter
  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 15 oz pie crusts equivalent to 2 crusts, store bought or homemade
  • 3 drops blue food coloring gel
  • 5 ounces jelly or preserves any flavor (I used Strawberry because that is my daughter’s favorite )
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon milk you may add more if you like your icing to be a thinner consistency
  • 2 drops ink food coloring gel
  • 1 egg whisked
  • 4 tablespoons mixture of pink and purple sprinkles

Instructions

  • If using homemade dough, add in blue food coloring until your desired blue color (I opted for more of a teal color) after adding in your ice water. If using store bought, roll your dough into a ball. Add your blue food coloring until your desired blue color. Knead with your hands or a stand mixer until fully incorporated.
  • Lay your pie crust out flat on a lightly floured surface. With your cookie cutter cut out as many heart shaped hearts you can with the amount of pie crust you have.
  • On one of the heart-shaped crust, take 1 tablespoon of your jelly preserves, and place it in the middle. Spread it out evenly on the heart shape. Make sure to leave room around the edges.
  • Taking your finger, dip it in the egg wash, and evenly spread the egg wash around the edges surrounding the jelly.
  • Place another heart shaped pie crust on top of the other heart with the jelly on it. Using a fork press down the edges creating a seal.
  • Using a kitchen brush, dip it in the egg wash and top the rest of your heart shape with the egg wash.
  • Using a fork, or toothpick, poke about 6 to 8 holes in the top of your top layer pastry.
  • Depending on the size of your air fryer, place as many pastry hearts in your air fryer that will fit without interfering with the shape of the pastry.
  • Cook your pop tart at 370° for 7 minutes. Once the timer is done, open your air fryer, and flip your pop tarts. Continue to cook at 370° for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until it is reached a soft brown color.
  • Remove from the air fryer, and transfer to a cooling rack.
  • While your pastries are cooling, mix together your powdered sugar, milk, and pink food coloring (you can add more or less depending on the color of food coloring you prefer). You can choose to add more powdered sugar if you like your icing thicker, or more milk if you like your icing thinner.

Notes

You can use any type of  jelly or preserves to your family prefers.
