Ingredients Needed

Pie crust (store-bought or homemade) – buttery, flaky base for the pop-tarts
Raspberry jam – sweet, tangy filling for the pastry center

Powdered sugar – base for sweet, smooth glaze drizzle
Milk or cream – thins glaze to perfect drizzling consistency

How To Make Air Fryer Raspberry Pop Tarts

Prepare the Pie Crust: Pie crust rolled out and cut into rectangular shapes on a flat surface.

Step One: Roll out your pie crust and cut it into rectangles, about 3×4 inches.

Step Two: Spoon a small amount of raspberry jam onto half of the rectangles. Be careful not to overfill.

Add the Filling: Raspberry jam spooned onto the center of pie crust rectangles.

Step Three: Top each filled rectangle with another piece of crust and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Brush the tops of the pop-tarts with beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.

Air Fry: Pop-tarts arranged in the air fryer basket, cooking at 350°F until golden brown.

Step Four: Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. Place the pop-tarts in a single layer with space between each. Set cook time for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Step Five: Mix powdered sugar with milk or cream until smooth. Drizzle over warm pop-tarts and add sprinkles if desired. Let the glaze set before serving.

Glaze and Decorate: Powdered sugar glaze drizzled over warm raspberry pop-tarts with optional sprinkles.

Air Fryer Raspberry Pop Tarts Recipe Tips

Don’t Overfill: Use just a teaspoon or two of jam to prevent leaks.
Cool Filling First: Let the raspberry jam cool slightly before assembling to avoid soggy crust.
Crimp Edges Well: Use a fork to seal edges tightly for a neat finish.
Brush with Egg Wash: Ensures a golden, glossy top and crisp texture.
Space Evenly in Air Fryer: Leave room between pop-tarts so they crisp evenly.
Customize Flavors: Swap raspberry jam with strawberry, blueberry, or apricot for variety.
Serve Warm: Pop-tarts are best eaten warm, straight from the air fryer.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

Storing: Keep cooled raspberry pop-tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Store without glaze if possible to maintain a crisp crust.
Freezing: Wrap individual pop-tarts tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months, then thaw at room temperature before reheating.
Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 325°F for 2–3 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soft instead of flaky.
