Phyllo Raspberry Pop Tarts with Vanilla Glaze

Phyllo Raspberry Pop Tarts: Layers of Phyllo Sheets filled with Raspberry Jam and topped with a sweet Vanilla Glaze.

The other day I decided to pump some gas into my car, an activity I don’t usually partake in. I ask my husband to take my car when it’s on “E”. buahahaha 🙂

Because my car eats up a whole truckload of gas, thus taking forever to fill-up, I clean the inside of the car to kill time. I’m very anxious – it’s impossible for me to just sit in the car for those few minutes.

It must have been a while since the last time I pumped gas because I could have done it 100 times over and there would still be another 100 gum wrappers to throw away! AND water bottles. and gas receipts, and napkins…
Why do I keep these receipts, anyhow?? Like, who in the world is going to ask me for my gas receipt?

Also… do you remember when you were allowed to throw garbage out the window while driving? EWWW!! Imagine someone’s chewed up gum slamming into your windshield while doing 65 mph! Could-ah killed ya!

…you should know that I laughed out loud while typing that.

So how do I tie in Phyllo Raspberry Pop Tarts into a gas-pumping story? I honestly don’t know :), but do you wanna talk about turning phyllo sheets into pop tarts?? ME, TOO!

In this house we are all about the quick-phyllo-fix meals and desserts. “We” should really say “I”, but whatever.

Dessert: Apple Strudel Cake

I’m tellin’ you – Phyllo sheets and I are like *THIS*. 

Recently, my lil’ ones requested Nutella Pop Tarts for breakfast, but because I was just too lazy to go buy Nutella aaaaand roll out pie dough, I asked them to compromise. When I busted out the phyllo sheets, they were more than happy to oblige and enjoy this Mom’s new version of homemade pop tarts.

I was also itching to use up some of that delicious Farmer’s Pick Raspberry Jam by Welch’s – that stuff is SO GOOD! And it’s one of the main reasons we ended up here; Phyllo sheets + Raspberry Jam + Vanilla Glaze = Phyllo Raspberry Pop Tarts. It is my bootleg, yet awesomely delicious version of homemade pop tarts.

Got 20 minutes to spare? Make ’em!

Got Milk? Drink it with ’em!

ENJOY!
