Ingredients
2 store-bought refrigerated pie crusts
1/2 to 3/4 cup strawberry jam
1–2 tablespoons melted butter or 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
1 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk
Optional: food coloring or 1-2 teaspoons jam for the glaze
Sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll one pie crust and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Place the second pie crust over the jam and press the edges together, then seal with a fork.
- Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the surface with melted butter or egg wash.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth, adding optional food coloring or jam if desired.
- Spread the glaze over the warm pastry, allow it to set, top with sprinkles, then slice and serve.
Notes
Swap strawberry jam for raspberry, blueberry, cherry, apricot, or mixed berry preserves.
Add a thin layer of cream cheese beneath the jam for a cheesecake-inspired variation.
Mix cinnamon into the glaze for extra warmth and flavor.
Use chocolate hazelnut spread instead of jam for a richer filling.
Decorate with themed sprinkles, colored sugar, crushed freeze-dried fruit, chopped nuts, or extra glaze.
Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Freeze wrapped slices for up to 2 months and thaw before reheating.
