Ingredients for Air Fryer Blueberry Pop-Tarts Breakfast Pastry

If you decide to make this, you will be glad you did, even the ingredients are so easy. I’ve always been one to buy pop tarts at the store, but if you can do it on your own, why not? The air fryer hasn’t let me down yet! I had most of these ingredients on hand, which made me even happier. 

Pre-made pie crust – I always pick one of these up while I’m at the store. It’s a lifesaver when you’re trying to make little pastries!

Blueberry jam – Ah, this is my favorite flavor ever. If you haven’t used blueberry jam in a recipe, you are missing out. It is so good! Once you get this flavor down, you can always try out different flavors.

Sprinkles – You can’t make a homemade pop tart without sprinkles. Sprinkles make everything perfect! Plus, the kids REALLY love adding sprinkles.

FAQs About Making Pop Tarts In The Air Fryer:

  1. What is the benefit of using an air fryer?
    • Using an air fryer ensures that the pop tarts are cooked evenly and acquire a perfect crispy texture with minimal use of oil, making them a relatively healthier option.
  2. Can I use homemade pie crust instead of premade?
    • Absolutely! If you have more time and prefer homemade crust, you can definitely use it in place of premade.
  3. Can I use a different type of jam?
    • Yes, you can experiment with different flavors like raspberry, strawberry, or apricot jam.
  4. How long should I cook the pop tarts in the air fryer?
    • It’s best to cook them at 350°F (175°C) for 7-10 minutes, but keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

Tips and Tricks For These Blueberry Pop Tarts:

  • Make sure to seal the edges of the pop tarts well to prevent the jam from oozing out.
  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
  • Prick the top of the pop tarts with a fork before air frying to allow steam to escape, preventing them from puffing up too much.
  • Allow the pop tarts to cool slightly before applying the frosting, so it doesn’t melt off.

Variations of Pop Tarts:

  • Chocolate Hazelnut: Swap the blueberry jam for chocolate hazelnut spread.
  • Apple Cinnamon: Use apple butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon as the filling.
  • Lemon Cream: Use lemon curd for the filling and mix lemon zest into the frosting.
