Homemade pop tarts – I can see my son eating half a dozen of these! Definitely a made from scratch recipe that your kids will surely adore!

let’s make diy pop tarts recipe

For these homemade pop tarts, we are making our own crust. You can use store-bought crust to make them a little faster, but we just love the taste of this recipe, and it’s pretty easy to make.

I used strawberry jam, nutella and apple butter in the center of these. I am freezing them to eat on busy days.

Thank you so much Pam, of Troop Petrie, for giving us this awesome recipe!
