Fresh Peach Pie “Pop Tarts”

By 140 Comments

Fresh Peach Pie “Pop Tarts” are perfect for breakfast or dessert. These homemade goodies are wonderful because they’re loaded with seasonal fruit and topped with a drizzle of icing. So good!

Fresh Peach Pie “Pop Tarts” are a fun treat! Homemade is always best!

My Fresh Peach Pie “Pop Tarts” recipe is one that I made and posted on this site years ago, and it has been a readers’ favorite for a long time. I wanted to share this with you in case you missed it!

I was inspired to make these pastries after a brief exchange with a friend on Facebook. He posted an article about store-bought, prepared items you can easily make at home (tomato sauce, peanut butter, Sriracha, etc.). One of the items was Pop Tarts.

Fresh Peach Pie “Pop Tarts” are a wonderful treat. All those fresh peaches are amazing!

After I read the article my friend shared, I knew I wouldn’t be able to stop thinking of “pop tarts” until I made them myself. And homemade is always better, after all.

Peaches go hand-in-hand with summer, and they’re perfect to add to so many recipes. For the warm weather, this Peach-Rosemary Agua Fresca cannot be beat. It’s refreshing and easy to make! 

Fresh Peach Pie “Pop Tarts” are flaky on the outside, and filled with fresh peaches. You'll love them!

If grilling is your thing, try my recipe for Molasses-Glazed Salmon with Sweet-and-Spicy Peach Salsa. It’s breakfast time as I write this, and I’m already looking forward to dinner! 

One more peach recipe to share for dessert: Peach, Lavender, and Blackberry Ice Cream is the perfect end to any meal. This ice cream is pretty and filled with great flavor. 

Fresh Peach Pie “Pop Tarts” will make you smile! These wonderful, homemade treats are amazing!

Instead of using store-bought pie dough, I decided to go with homemade dough. The dough recipe (my dad’s) is a keeper! It makes enough dough for 2, 9.5-inch pie crusts, or enough dough to make 8-10 pop tarts. 

These Fresh Peach Pie “Pop Tarts” turned out great and make a fun treat! Whether you eat them for breakfast or as dessert, you’ll love them.

Fresh Peach Pie "Pop Tarts" are a fun treat for the summer! Enjoy these Fresh Peach Pie "Pop Tarts" now, and try them with different fillings, too!

Ingredients

    For the Dough:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2/3 cup vegetable shortening
  • 3/4 cup cold water
  • 1 egg (as an egg wash)
    • For the Filling:
  • 3 large peaches, skins peeled, diced into small pieces
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons apricot preserves
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1-2 tablespoons almond pieces, finely chopped
  • Dash of cinnamon, optional
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
    • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1-2 drops of almond extract, optional

Instructions

    For the Dough:
  1. Add the flour to a large bowl along with the salt and sugar and sift together.
  2. Add the shortening to the dry ingredients in small pieces. With your fingers or a pastry blender, mix the ingredients together. Add the water to the dough, a little at a time, and continue to mix until it looks like a course meal and there are several pea-sized clumps that form.
  3. Continue to mix the dough until it’s soft enough to form a dough ball.
  4. Split the dough into two equal portions and form them into 1-inch-thick disks. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for about an hour.
    5. For the Filling:
  5. To easily peel the skins off the peaches, first cut a slit in the base of each peach. Place peaches in boiling water (enough to cover the peaches) for about 30 seconds. Remove the peaches using a slotted spoon, and place them in ice water.
  6. Allow them to sit for a few minutes.
  7. Remove the peaches from the water and begin to peel away the skin from where you slit them. The skin should peel right off.
  8. Dice the peaches and put them in a medium bowl.
  9. Add 1 tablespoon butter and the apricot preserves to a microwave-safe container and heat for about 20 seconds, or until the preserves have melted. Mix to combine.
  10. Add the preserve mixture, along with the almonds and dash of cinnamon (if using), to the peaches. Mix well to coat. Sprinkle lemon juice over the mixture and set it aside.
    11. To Assemble the “Pop Tarts”:
  11. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F., and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  12. Leave one disk of dough in the refrigerator, working with them individually.
  13. Lightly flour your work surface and the top of the dough, too.
  14. Roll out the dough to form a rectangle shaped about 12x9 inches, and 1/8-inch thick.
  15. Use the back of a butter knife to score away the edges of the dough to form straight edges (keep the scraps for later and form them into another "pop tart"), then again to divide the dough into even-numbered squares or rectangles. You’ll use two squares/rectangles to form one “pop tart.”
  16. Add the egg to a small bowl and beat it with a fork. Brush half of the squares/rectangles with the egg, and make sure to get the edges.
  17. Spoon one heaping tablespoon of the peach mixture into the center of each brushed square/rectangle. Spread it out slightly, but only to about half an inch from the edges.
  18. Place a corresponding square/rectangle over the one with the filling. Line up the edges and lightly press it down.
  19. Use a fork to crimp the edges all the way around each square/rectangle to seal the dough together, then prick the tops of each a few times. Brush the edges with the egg.
  20. Place the “pop tarts” on the lined baking sheets and place in the freezer as you work with the next batch of dough.
  21. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the “pop tarts” begin to turn golden.
  22. When finished baking, transfer them to a cooling rack. When they’re completely cool, drizzle with the glaze (mix the confectioners’ sugar with the milk and almond extract, if using, and blend until smooth).

    It looks so delicious I want to try it!! Curious question instead of peaches can I do apples instead? Because I'm allergic to peaches :)

      Hi Raquel - thanks! I haven't tried this with apples, but don't know why they wouldn't be a good substitute!

    Gorgeous! I love the fresh fruit filling! We stopped buying pop tarts a while ago based on not liking the ingredients list and this would be a perfect way to stop missing them!

    I'm using already cut up fresh peaches and was wondering if anyone knows how many cups of peach pieces this recipe calls for.

    Bless you for having the patience to deal with homemade dough. It has been many years since I've done it, but maybe I'll give it a go when I try my hand at this. xx, Aitza B | petitelypackaged.com

    These sound SO delicious! I stopped liking Pop Tarts years ago due to their fake, sickly sweet taste, but this sounds like a tasty and fun alternative. I will definitely be saving this recipe for the future!

    Patricia, these Peach Pie Pop Tarts look so incredibly scrumptious! I love making various types of homemade pop-tarts, but I haven't yet tried peach ones. I know they will be delicious! Thanks so much for your recipe. I need to make a tasty batch of these this month.

      Hmmm...using ALL whole wheat flour might make it a little heavy. Maybe half of each? Let me know if you try it and how it works!
