Who can resist little bite size pop tarts, or bite sized anything, for that matter! Try also this awesome Blueberry Crumble Pie made with Pillsbury Pie Crusts.

Mini Pop Tarts

These little snacks come together quick with pre-made pie crusts, pie filling and prepared frosting.

Ingredients

• 1 pkg. Pillsbury Pie Crusts
• 1 Can Strawberry Pie Filling
• I Can Vanilla Frosting
• Food Coloring
• Sprinkles and Jimmies

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take both round pieces of pie crusts and trim off the edges so you have 2 square pieces the same size.

Divide the frosting into 3 small bowls and mix food coloring into 2 of the bowls with your choice of color and leave one bowl of frosting white.

On one piece of your pie crust, take a teaspoon and put dollops of pie filling. You can fit 24-30 dollops on the crust.

Place the other piece of crust on top of this one and cut the dough into strips about ¼ inch from each edge of the dollops of pie filling. You can see the pie filling through the dough so this is easy to do.

Using a fork, press along the edges to seal the 2 sheets of dough together around the edges of the filling.

Then cut strips the other direction so now you have individual little, filled pieces, and press the fork along the other edges to seal together. Place the little mini pop tarts on a cookie tray and put a tiny cut into the top of each tart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Let cool.

Now the fun part –

Frost each pop tart and sprinkle with jimmies or sprinkles. Enjoy!

Look how cute they are!

Also, try making mini pies with a dab of blackberry jam. Brush the pies with whipped egg and sprinkle with sugar before baking. Yum!
