Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

  • 1 pie crust (store bought or homemade)
  • 3 tbsp Okinawan sweet potato jam (see notes)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp Okinawan sweet potato jam
  • sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Roll out pie crust to a 8x9" rectangle. Cut pie crust into 12 2x3" rectangles.

  3. 3

    Spread about 1 1/2 tsp of sweet potato jam in the center of 6 of the pie crust rectangles. Cover with the remaining 6 rectangles.

  4. 4

    Using a fork, crimp the edges of each pop tart so they don't come apart during baking. Poke the center of each pop tart with the fork to allow steam to escape.

  5. 5

    Beat an egg and brush onto the tops of the pop tarts. Bake for 20 minutes or until tarts are fully cooked and browned on top.

  6. 6

    Allow pop tarts to cool before assembling the glaze.

  7. 7

    To make the glaze, mix 1 tbsp of sweet potato jam with 1/4 cup powdered sugar. If your jam is very thick and dry, you can microwave it for about 8 seconds until it is loose enough to mix with the powdered sugar. If your glaze is too wet, add more powdered sugar. If too dry, add more jam.

  8. 8

    Use a spoon to spread a small amount of glaze on top of each pop tart. Top with optional sprinkles or other topping if you wish. Enjoy!
