These cherry mini toaster tarts are much better than the store-bought version. You can make them as pops or make them regular-sized. The kids love these!
Ingredients
- 12 wooden pop sticks
- 1 cup pitted tart red cherries, chopped
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 (15 ounce) package prepared pie crusts
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon multicolored candy sprinkles
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Soak wooden pop sticks in water.
Step 2
Place the cherries into a saucepan, and stir in white sugar, cornstarch, water, and almond extract. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, and cook until thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 3
On a floured surface, unroll the pie crusts, and roll each crust out to an 11-inch circle. Cut each crust into 18 rectangles about 1 1/2-inch by 2 inches.
Step 4
Place 18 squares onto the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart, and place a wooden pop stick onto each square so that about 1 inch of the stick is on the dough rectangle. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cherry filling into center of each dough rectangle. Top each tart with a second rectangle of dough, and crimp the edges of the little tarts with a fork. Press dough around stick to help hold the stick in place.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until the tarts are lightly browned at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool.
Step 6
Make the glaze by stirring confectioners' sugar with milk and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable (not thin). Spread a coating of glaze over each tart, and sprinkle the tarts with candy sprinkles. Allow the glaze to set for several hours before serving.
Cook’s Note:
Use a ruler to measure the mini pop rectangles, and mark the dough with a butter knife before cutting. If you prefer, make regular tarts by cutting pastry into 2×3-inch rectangles; omit sticks.
