Description

Ingredients

• Pastries
• Flour for dusting counter
• 2 boxes Pillsbury refrigerated pie dough (4 crusts) or you’re the equivalent of your favorite pie dough recipe
• 1 cup or more of your desired filling
• Icing
• 2 ¼ c powdered sugar, sifted
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons milk
• ⅛ teaspoon vanilla
• 1 drop Americolor soft pink – if you are using regular red food coloring, barely dip a toothpick in the color and stir that into the glaze adding more color if necessary.
• Mixed color nonpareils or sprinkles of choice.

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450°.
• Lightly dust counter with flour and roll out one crust just a little until it’s more rectangular in size and prick all over with fork.
• Cut into desired size, I made them about 2¼ inches by 3 ½ inches.
• Spread filling onto centers of rectangles.
• Roll out another crust and cut into the same size rectangles. Prick all over with a fork.
• Use a brush or just your finger dipped in water to wet the cut lines of the pie dough with filling.
• Using a spatula place an unfilled rectangle on top of each filled rectangle.
• Press edges together using your finger, a fork, or I used the edge of a spatula.
• Put on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until good and golden brown.
• Move tart to rack to cool.
• Mix all glaze ingredients. When you drop a spoonful of glaze back into the bowl it should settle in about 30 seconds.
• Spread and sprinkle.
• Eat!
