Homemade Lemon and Blueberry Pop-Tarts

Well, it’s official–my kids think I am the coolest mom ever. I’ve been wanting to make homemade Pop-Tarts for a while now, and when I saw some lemon curd at Trader Joe’s, I knew it would make a delicious filling along with fresh blueberries. These little lemon and blueberry Pop-Tarts were quick and easy to make and tasted delicious. My son kept telling us that no one could love them more than he did, while my daughter said they were so awesome, fantastic, and delicious. I can safely say they were a huge hit. We saved a couple for my husband, and he loved them too. I highly recommend these tasty treats.
Homemade Lemon and Blueberry Pop-Tarts
Ingredients:
- 1 premade pie crust
- Lemon Curd (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh blueberries, cut in half
- 1 egg, mixed well
- Raw sugar

How to Make Homemade Lemon and Blueberry Pop-Tarts:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the pie crust on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the dough into squares.
Spoon some lemon curd in the center, on one side of the square, not going to the edges.
Place some of the blueberry halves on top of the lemon curd.

Fold the dough in half and gently seal the edges with your fingers.
Take a fork and crimp the edges of the Pop-Tarts closed.
Using a knife, carefully trim off the uneven edges.
Slice two little vents into the top of each Pop-Tarts. Brush the tops of each Pop-Tart with the egg wash.

Sprinkle each Pop-Tart with raw sugar.

Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire cooling rack.
Serve warm. Enjoy.

just made these with my son this morning, they turned out perfect. we compared sugar content with our box of pop tarts in the cabinet….the homemade are about 6-7 grams less per piece and SO much more delicious!!!
I made these and my kids loved them! I send them in their lunches for school. I cannot get blueberries where I live, so I used strawberries instead. I also made my curd from scratch as well as the pie crust. So, my version probably took a lot longer, but the results were fabulous. Thanks for sharing!
