Certainly! Here’s a recipe for a delicious Strawberry Pop Tart Slab Pie:
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
For the filling:
- 2 cups strawberry jam
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the decoration (optional):
- Sprinkles or colored sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two parts, one slightly larger than the other.
- Roll out the larger portion of the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit the bottom of the baking dish. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the greased baking dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.
- Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the dough in the baking dish. Arrange the sliced fresh strawberries on top of the jam.
- Roll out the smaller portion of the dough to fit the top of the pie. Place it over the strawberry filling and seal the edges by crimping with a fork or your fingers.
- Use a sharp knife to cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- While the pie is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once the pie is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the pie while it’s still slightly warm. If desired, decorate with sprinkles or colored sugar.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
