Treehouse Titan's Toaster Tarts
These homemade toaster pastries are a nostalgic treat with a flaky crust and a sweet, fruity filling. Far superior to store-bought, they’re perfect for a special breakfast or a playful afternoon snack.
Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Unroll one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out slightly to about 1/8 inch thick.
- 3
Cut the pastry into 8 equal rectangles (about 3x4 inches each). Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry to get another 8 rectangles.
- 4
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of your desired fruit jam onto the center of 8 of the pastry rectangles, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 5
Place the remaining 8 pastry rectangles on top of the jam-covered ones. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges all the way around, creating a decorative seal.
- 6
Carefully transfer the tarts to the prepared baking sheet. Using a small knife, cut two or three small slits in the top of each tart to allow steam to escape.
- 7
Brush the tops of the tarts with the beaten egg.
- 8
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- 9
While the tarts are baking, prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, a tiny bit at a time, if needed to reach a pourable but thick consistency.

Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. While still slightly warm, drizzle with the prepared icing. Add sprinkles immediately if desired.

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftover tarts in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
