Giant Fruit-Filled Pie Tart

We made these in camp a couple of weeks ago and the kids loved them. They are fun and easy to make, especially if you use pre-made pie crusts. Homemade crusts are great, but sometimes time is a factor.

They should remind you of the ubiquitous square toaster pastries of our childhoods. Only round and much bigger. We used homemade strawberry jam and the kids decorated them when finished. They came out so cute and they were fun to make, serve and eat. These are great for parties.

Giant Fruit- Filled Pie Tart

2 prepared pie crusts – store bought or homemade

1-1½ cups fruit jam, preserves or pie filling

1 egg

2 c. Powdered sugar

milk or lemon juice

non pareils or sprinkles

Preheat oven to 375. Roll out one pie crust on baking sheet. Spread jam over the surface, leaving a one-inch border. Moisten the edge with a little water. Place second pie crust on the jam covered crust. Use a fork all around the edges to seal the tart. Combine egg with a little water then brush over the crust. Pierce crust all over with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Make a frosting with the powdered sugar and milk or lemon juice, Tint with food coloring, if you like. Pour the frosting over the tart. Add sprinkles. Serve by cutting into wedges, like pie. Serves 8.
