Make a gourmet version of this nostalgic treat
Put the oats and flour into a food processor and ground until the oats are fine
Add the cold butter and pulse until the butter resembles very coarse crumbles
Gradually add just enough water until the dough comes together
Take the dough out of the food processor and shape into a round disc
Cover with plastic wrap and chill 20-30 mins
Mix the egg with 1 tbsp of water, and set aside
Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer
In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the sugar, salt and fresh fruit
Occasionally stir (or the jam will burn on the bottom) and cook until the fruit is soft and your jam is done
Roll the dough out to about 1/8” thick
Cut 4x5 rectangles, and then cut each rectangle in half, to get (2) 2.5” x 4” pieces. (You can cut them in any size you like, but this size is great! A little smaller than a regular store-bought pop tart, I think they’re the perfect size) Tip: for a perfect 4x5 rectangle, cut a piece of paper to be that size and trace each piece you cut out so each pop tart is even.
Take the egg wash (egg with 1 tbsp of water) and using a pastry brush, trace along the outside of one of the rectangles
Put a heaping tbsp of jam in the middle, and place the other rectangle on top.
Seal the edges by pressing down on the egg wash, and use a fork to create the ridges on the edge
Use a toothpick to poke holes (as pictured) so they bake evenly
Freeze for 30 minutes before baking so the dough does not spread
Brush the tops with egg wash
Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees, or until the bottom is lightly browned
