Sheet Pan Pop Tart
This recipe is super simple, and it made my kiddo so happy! We use pie crust, jam, and icing to make a homemade giant pop tart on a sheet pan! You can use any jam you like, and I use store bought pie dough to make it a little bit easier.
Giant Pan Pop Tart Recipe (on a sheet pan)
The beauty of this recipe is how truly simple it is. My son loved this after school for a snack! I used strawberry jam, but you could us any jam you like. There is a new one at Costco by Bonne Maman that is strawberry-guava and I am going to totally make this again with that!
You can use a standard 18×26 inch sheet pan for this recipe, and make the pop tart size to your liking. I do encourage you to use a piece of parchment paper, it keeps it easy. In fact, I like to assembly everything right on the parchment paper on the sheet pan. One pan, easy cleanup, kid friendly snack. No complaints here!
For this recipe, I used store bought pie crust. You can also make your own if you prefer, this is a great recipe.
Tips for Making a Giant Pop Tart
This is a really easy, and straight forward recipe for making a humungous (technical term) pop tart.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a large sheet pan (18×16 inches preferred).
- Place a piece of store bought pie crust directly on the parchment paper.
- Add about 1/3 cup of jam on top of the pie crust. Spread it around, so it is one even layer.
- Place the remaining piece of pie crust on top of the jam.
- Crimp the edges of the pop tart with a fork to form a seal. Make sure to do this tightly, so the jam doesn’t seep out while the pop tart is cooking.
- Make a small batch of egg wash (eggs + milk + vanilla extract), whisk it well. Brush it over the top of the pop tart, and onto the edges.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Pop Tart Icing
A simple powdered sugar icing really does the trick, and it hardens up like pop tart icing should! You’ll want the pop tart to be mostly room temperature before adding the icing to it, otherwise it will melt and fall to the sides. Make sure to add the sprinkles while the icing is still slightly wet, so they stick well.
The beauty of this recipe is that it is easy to assembly, doesn’t require any high end baking skills, and honestly? The most rustic it is, the better it looks! Don’t stress yourself out over making it extra perfect. A homemade treat is a homemade treat, and we don’t want this to look like it came straight from the grocery store.
If you have leftovers, simple slice the giant pop tart into squares, and store them in an airtight container.

Homemade Pop Tart (on a sheet pan)
Equipment
- 1 18×26 inch sheet pan
Ingredients
- 4 pie ready to bake refrigerated crusts
- 1 cup jam or preserves
Egg Wash
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- On the parchment paper, lay down 2 of the pie crusts closely and slightly overlapping. Press down to create the bottom, even layer of the pop tart. *If you want it to be even, you can use a knife or a pizza cutter to create a perfect square.
- Spread the jam over pie crust, leaving about 1/3 inch of space around the exterior. Set aside.
- Roll the remaining 2 pieces of pie crust together to form 1 layer for the top of the pop tart. Gently place this layer on top of the jam layer, and remove any excess that drapes over. Pinch the edges with a fork, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While pop tart is baking, whisk together icing. Set aside.
- When pop tart is fully baked, remove from oven and allow to fully cool before topping with icing and sprinkles.
- Cut into bars, serve, and enjoy!
