Filled with fresh strawberry jam, these strawberry pop tarts are so easy to make and unbelievably delicious!
I'm not one to exaggerate, but guys, making pop tarts at home just might change your life.
Okay, maybe I like to lean a bit on the dramatic side, but I swear I'm telling the truth! I am embarrassed to admit that I have bought pop tarts from the grocery store a few too many times in the past few months, but they pale in comparison to these homemade ones.
As summertime approaches, I always love buying as many strawberries as possible. And what better way to use them than in homemade pop tarts? Everything in this recipe is made from scratch, including the buttery, flaky pie dough, the fresh strawberry jam, and the frosting.
