Pie Crust Pop Tarts

Today's dreary weather and a ball of leftover pie crust waiting in the fridge just begged for making pie crust pop tarts.  Better Homes and Gardens made incredibly adorable ones, but we went for quick and cute. 

I use Martha Stewart's pie crust recipe from her aqua cookbook, you can find it here.  It's quick, easy and always perfectly flakey.  It makes crust for a double crust pie, so we had some left from a quiche over the weekend.

My willing helper cut them into heart shapes, then we spooned strawberry "spreadable fruit" onto centers.  Just like in pottery class at school, dampen the edges of the tops and bottoms with water, place together and use a fork to press sealed.  We cooked them at 350F for 10 or so minutes until they started turning golden on the edges. 



Of course, while you wait, it's a prefect time to bring in a chicken for a snuggle and dry her off.  Just make sure to wash your hands afterwards...


And voila!  Quick, tasty, and not too too sweet.
