Equipment

Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 1 3.9 oz. applesauce
- cinnamon to taste
- 2 tbsp cornstarch approximately
Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2-1 tsp vanilla
- 3-4 tsp milk or until icing is spreadable
pop tart crust
- 2 pie shells refrigerator
Instructions
Apple Filling
- Mix together applesauce, cinnamon & cornstarch in a small bowl..
- If apple mixture is still runny place over low heat and stir until mixture thickens. Do not leave unattended. Keep stirring until you can feel mixture thickening.
- Remove from heat.
Making the Pop Tarts
- Unroll your pie crusts and lay them out on a cutting board.
- Cut the pie crusts lengthwise into 6 long pieces, 3 pieces for each pie crust.
- Spread about 1 tbsp apple mixture over the bottom center portion of each pie crust.
- Do this to all 6 pop tarts until the apple mixture is evenly used up.
- Note: It's not a lot but don't worry, the mixture is rich and it will give a lot of flavor. Too much and it would probably ooze out.
- Next, fold over each end of the pie crust/pop tart.
- Seal the edges by pressing a fork around all the edges to create a crimping effect.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370 for just a few minutes.
- Spray the bottom of the air fryer with oil.
- Place as many pop tarts into your air fryer that will fit WITHOUT overlapping any edges.
- Set the air fryer to 6 minutes and cook for 6 minutes.
- Remove and let cool for just a few minutes.
- Next it's time to make the Icing.
Icing
- Mix together powdered sugar, vanilla, & milk in a small bowl.
- Add milk as needed to create a spreadable consistency.
- Spread icing over pop tarts that are still slightly warm.
- Add sprinkles immediately as icing will harden quickly.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Poptarts can be frozen. Just seal them and keep them in a freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheat: You can reheat in the air fryer at 370 for 4-6 min.
