The taste of strawberry pop tarts comes to life in this easy-to-make pie. The crust is glazed and topped with sprinkles to make it look like your fave toaster pastry.
6 cups frozen sliced strawberries
1 green apple, peeled and shredded on a box grater
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon tapioca flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 refrigerated pie crusts, such as Pillsbury®
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon milk
sprinkles of choice
Add half the strawberries to a heavy sauce pan, place over medium heat, and cook until broken down and thickened, about 10 minutes. Let berries cool slightly.
Add apple to a large bowl, then add in cooked berries, remaining frozen berries, sugar, tapioca flour, and salt. Toss to combine.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a pie dish.
Lay 1 pie crust in the prepared pie dish, and crimp along the edges. Pour in berry mixture and smooth it out. Gently lay top crust over berries, then crimp to bottom crust edge. Pinch to ensure there are no gaps. Cut an X in the middle of the pie with a sharp knife.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Bake until filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven to cool.
For glaze, whisk confectioner’s sugar and milk together in a small bowl until smooth. Brush over cooled pie, then cover with sprinkles.
