1heart cookie cutter
Instructions
ay your pie crust out flat on a lightly floured surface. With your cookie cutter cut out as many heart shaped hearts you can with the amount of pie crust you have.
On one of the heart-shaped crust, take 1 tablespoon of your jelly preserves, and place it in the middle. Spread it out evenly on the heart shape. Make sure to leave room around the edges.
Taking your finger, dip it in the egg wash, and evenly spread the egg wash around the edges surrounding the jelly.
Place another heart shaped pie crust on top of the other heart with the jelly on it. Using a fork press down the edges creating a seal.
Using a kitchen brush, dip it in the egg wash and top the rest of your heart shape with the egg wash.
Using a fork, or toothpick, poke about 6 to 8 holes in the top of your top layer pastry.
Depending on the size of your air fryer, place as many pastry hearts in your air fryer that will fit without interfering with the shape of the pastry.
Cook your pop tart at 370° for 7 minutes. Once the timer is done, open your air fryer, and flip your pop tarts. Continue to cook at 370° for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until it is reached a soft brown color.
Remove from the air fryer, and transfer to a cooling rack.
While your pastries are cooling, mix together your powdered sugar and jelly preserve. Mix, and whisk together. You can choose to add more powdered sugar if you like your frosting thicker.
Drizzle your frosting over your pop tart and add your sprinkles while your frosting is still wet.
Allow them to cool and the frosting to harden, and then enjoy!
