Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package rolled pie crust (2 ct. 7.5 oz pack)
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons jam or preserves
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
- 2 tablespoons jam (for filling)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lay a sheet of parchment paper on your baking sheet.
- Unroll the pie crust onto another sheet of parchment and cut into rectangles about 3 by 5 inches.
- Place eight of these rectangles on your prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of your chosen jam on one rectangle, leaving a small border.
- Brush the edges with the egg wash.
- Place another rectangle on top and press down to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and poke holes in the top for steam to escape.
- Brush the entire top with the egg wash.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
- Allow to cool before whisking together icing ingredients (powdered sugar, milk/cream, vanilla) and spreading over each tart. Add sprinkles if desired.
Notes
For an extra golden finish, add a sprinkle of sugar on top before baking. If using runny jams, consider adding cornstarch to thicken the filling.
