Homemade "Pop Tarts"

I found this recipe awhile back on the Weelicious website, and decided to give them a try last night while I was waiting for dinner to cook. I used homemade strawberry and apricot preserves, but feel free to experiment. Different jams, apple or pumpkin butter, peanut butter and jelly, "smores," the possibilities are endless!

“Pop Tarts” (Makes 12 Tarts)
1/2 Cup Strawberry Preserves, Jam or Jelly
1 Double Crust Recipe or 1 14 oz Pre-Made Pie Crust (I used pre-made crust that I defrosted in the fridge)
Water

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Roll the pie crust 1/4 inch thick and cut into rectangles, about 2×3 inches.
3. Place one rectangle on a lightly floured work surface, top with 2 teaspoons preserves in the very center.
4. Lightly dip your index finger into a cup of water and “brush” the border of the dough around the jam with the water (this will allow the two sides of the rectangle to adhere to one another).
5. Top with another rectangular piece of pie dough. Take the tines of a fork and gently press down along the edges to adhere (making sure the mixture stays inside the tart).
6. Place the tarts on a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet and bake for 18 minutes or until golden.
7. Serve.
