Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

  3. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many heart shapes as possible from the pie crust.
  4. Place about one tablespoon of strawberry jam in the center of half of the heart-shaped dough pieces.
  5. Beat the egg lightly in a small bowl, then brush the edges of the hearts with jam.
  6. Place a plain heart-shaped dough piece on top of each jam-filled piece and press the edges together.
  7. Crimp the edges using a fork to seal completely.
  8. Poke a few holes into the top crust with a fork to allow steam to escape and brush with the egg wash.
  9. Place the pop tarts on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Cool the pop tarts on a wire rack completely before icing.

  12. Spread the icing over the top of each cooled pop tart and sprinkle with red and pink sprinkles.
