These are so good and simple I just can't believe it took me this long to think of this. My version of this classic treat is the "semi homemade" way. This is my husbands new favorite morning treat! You don't have to follow the recipe exactly how I have instructed. Play with it and make it your own. Leave me a post, I would like to hear some of your ideas. Have fun!
You will need: refrigerated pie crust, 1/3 cup strawberry preserves (you may need more depending on how much preserves you want to fill your poptarts with) or whatever flavor you like, 1 egg beaten for an egg wash and a pizza cutter.

Roll out the pie crust and cut in half, then cut the halves in 2. You should get four Poptarts out of one pie crust or more if you have a rolling pin. I don't have rolling skills so I opted out of doing that :) Spread about 2 Tbsp. of preserves on one side of the halves and fold the other half over. Do this for each Poptart. Take a fork and pinch the edges together like shown below.
Spread the egg wash on the top of each Poptart
Place Poptarts on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 15-17 minutes (cook time may vary, more or less, just depends on how crispy or less crispy you might want them) or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet and cool on cooling rack. A side note, I like to sprinkle a tiny bit of sugar on the tops of these before I put them in the oven just to give a little extra sweetness.
You could eat them just like this or frost them with a powered sugar icing. 1 cup powered sugar, 1 Tbsp. water and 1 tsp. Vanilla. You may need to add a little more water.
Finished product! Hope you enjoy these. They are so simple to make and so good!
