Equipment

  • Baking sheet or rimmed sheet pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Silicone spatula
  • Pastry brush
  • Fork (for crimping edges)
  • Sharp knife or pizza cutter
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • You can use homemade pastry or store-bought pie crusts.
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 ¾ cups cold butter cubed
  • ¾ cup ice water
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • For the Strawberry Filling
  • 2 cups strawberry jam or preserves
  • 1 cup fresh chopped strawberries optional but recommended
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Icing

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 –3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • A drop of red food color optional
  • Rainbow sprinkles highly recommended

Instructions
 

Make the Crust

  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and cut it into the flour until pea-sized crumbs form. Pour in the ice water slowly, mixing until the dough just comes together. Split into two equal portions, flatten into disks, wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.

Prepare the Filling

  • In a bowl, mix strawberry jam, fresh berries, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch. The cornstarch helps thicken the filling so it doesn’t spill over as it bakes.

Roll Out the Dough

  • On a floured surface, roll one dough disk into a large rectangle that fits your baking sheet. Transfer it to the lined sheet pan.

Add the Filling

  • Spread the strawberry mixture evenly across the crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Top with the Second Crust

  • Roll out the second dough disk to match the size of the first and gently lay it over the filling. Press the edges together with a fork for that classic Pop Tart look.

Vent and Egg Wash

  • Cut a few small slits in the top crust to let steam escape. Brush the top with beaten egg to help it bake to a beautiful golden color.

Bake

  • Bake at 375 F for 30–38 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

Cool and Ice

  • Let the slab pie cool completely (I know, it’s tough). Mix your icing until smooth and pour it over the cooled pie. Add sprinkles.

Slice and Serve

  • Cut into squares and enjoy your giant homemade Pop Tart.
