Prep Ahead Tips Homemade Pop Tarts can be a great prep-ahead treat – perfect for on-the-go breakfasts or snacks. Here’s our favorite ways to make this recipe unbelievably easy: The Crust: You can totally make the dough for the crust ahead of time and let it chill in the fridge for a night or two. Just note that it’ll need some time to sit at room temperature until it’s soft enough to work with. Freeze Unbaked: These Homemade Pop Tarts can actually be completely assembled and then frozen for months before baking. Just flash freeze them on a baking tray until they’re hard. Then‚ transfer them to an airtight container. When it’s time to bake‚ thaw and bake like normal. Freeze Baked: Another option is to let the pop tarts cool completely after baking them and then transfer them to an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. We recommend re-warming them in the oven at 300F to prevent them from getting soggy. Commonly Asked Questions How long do Homemade Pop Tarts keep? Store Homemade Pop Tarts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. (Note: We think these pop tarts are best enjoyed as soon as possible for the best flavor and texture.) Can I re-heat Homemade Pop Tarts in the toaster? We don’t recommend re-heating homemade pop tarts in the toaster‚ because they’re a lot fresher and softer than store-bought pop tarts meaning they could easily make a mess in the toaster. Instead‚ we opt for a 300F oven to reheat these little treats. Can I make a glaze for these pop tarts? Absolutely! Just wait to drizzle the glaze on until they’re completely cooled to prevent them from getting soggy. Try a classic powdered sugar glaze‚ or the festive spiced glaze we use in our recipe for our Favorite Pumpkin Scones. How can I tell if my pop tarts are done? When the tops turn golden‚ you’ll know these pop tarts are done. You may also see some of the strawberry preserves bubbling out of the slits. Why do some pop tarts come apart? One of the biggest reasons for hand pies falling apart is too much filling. We know the strawberry cheesecake filling is amazing‚ but make sure not to spoon too much into the crusts as it will make it next-to-impossible to seal them properly.
