Author: The Edgy Veg
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 5
Ingredients
1 vegan-friendly pie crust dough (or 2 frozen pie crust shells), thawed
2 tbsp+ 2-3 tbsp unsweetened soy milk
1 tsp maple syrup
½ cup + 2 tbsp strawberry jelly or jam, as needed
1 cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla
unbleached flour, as needed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small cup whisk together soy milk and maple syrup. Set aside.
Unroll or flatten the pie crust onto a sheet of parchment paper and cut out 3x5 in squares(about the size of an index card). Bunch and knead together the excess/remaining piece of crust, roll out and repeat until you’ve used it all.
On half of the cutout crusts spoon roughly 1½-2 tbsp of jam into the center of the rectangles, leaving lots of space from the edges.
Lightly brush the edges with the soy milk mixture, place a second rectangle on top of each one, gently seal the edges together with your fingers, and crimp with a fork.
Gently cut/slice a 2-3 slits on the top of each poptart to create a steam release, and brush with a light layer of the soy milk mixture. Repeat.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown, and allow to cool on a wire cooling rack. Depending on your oven this can go quickly, so keep an eye on them.
Meanwhile, whisk together powdered sugar, 2 tbsp soy milk, 2 tbsp jam and ½ tsp vanilla.
When the poptarts are cooled completely, spread a light layer of icing over each pop tart, and top with any toppings you desire.
