INSTRUCTIONS

Make-At-Home Blueberry Jam Filling Recipe

In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and water until well blended. Put aside.

Add the blueberries, sugar, zest, lemon juice, and salt to a medium-sized pot. Heat to a boil on a medium setting. Stir in the combination of cornstarch and water.

Lower the heat so that the mixture is barely simmering.

Jam should thicken after roughly ten minutes of frequent stirring. The blueberries should have thickened and their liquid should be soft. Take off the heat. Pour jam into a bowl and stir in cinnamon and vanilla. Let cool fully. To expedite the cooling process, place the bowl in the refrigerator. The jam will get thicker even more as it cools.

Store-Bought Filling (Optional)

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water. Once the starch has dissolved, stir. Combine this blend with the store-bought jam and, if desired, the zest of one lemon in a bowl. Stir until well blended. Put aside.

Put Together The Pop Tart

Set oven temperature to 375 F. Put parchment paper on the rim of a baking sheet. Whisk one tablespoon of water into the egg to make the egg wash in a small bowl. Put aside.

Roll out one sheet of pie dough or puff pastry to measure 9″ by 12″ on a well-floured surface. To make it oval-shaped, trim the corners with a knife or pizza cutter. Gently roll the dough out onto the baking sheet that has been prepared after carefully rolling it around your rolling pin.

Apply egg wash to the crust’s edge, leaving a 1-inch border. Evenly distribute the chilled filling onto the crust. Maintain a 1-inch margin.

Roll out your second pie crust to the same thickness as your first. Roll the dough around your rolling pin with caution. Cover the bottom crust with the second crust.

Seal the top and bottom crusts together by gently pressing the dough’s edges with your fingers. To crimp the edges, use a fork. Make holes in the center of the pop tart with a fork or a toothpick.

Use the remaining egg wash to coat the entire pop tart. Bake for 17 to 22 minutes, until the color turns golden. After letting the pop tart cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, carefully move it to a wire rack to finish cooling.

NOTES

Store-bought pie crust or puff pastry: Use two sheets (one package) of your preferred store-bought pastry. Be careful to defrost in advance. Thaw according to the instructions on the package.

Jam from the store: I suggest adding one and a half tablespoons of cornstarch to the jam. To taste more homemade and fresh, you may also add a little lemon zest to the jam.

Storage: Keep this enormous pop tart sealed in its container. Keep for two to three days at room temperature.
