How to Make Air Fryer Nutella Pop Tarts
These pop tarts come together in just a few simple steps, and they are well worth the effort. If you are looking for an easy and delicious homemade breakfast recipe, then this is the recipe for you.
Step 1: Mix together the wet ingredients
In a mixing bowl, mix the sugar, milk and vanilla. Set aside.
Step 2: Roll out the pie crust
On a flat floured surface, roll out the pie crust and cut out 3″ x 4″ rectangles.
Step 3: Fill the pop tarts with Nutella
Two rectangles make one pop tart. Place 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella in the center of a rectangle and spread it out leaving a 1/4″ edge.
Step 4: Make an egg wash
In a cup or a bowl, beat the egg to create an egg wash.
Step 5: Seal the pop tarts
Wash the edge of the rectangle with the egg and place the top rectangle on. Press out the air and seal the edges. Using a fork or a crimper, crimp the edges of the pop tart.
Step 6: Egg wash the pop tarts
Brush the top of the pop tart with the egg wash and using a toothpick, poke air holes.
Step 7: Air Fry the pop tarts
Place tart in an oiled air fryer basket and cook on 350° for 6 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 8: Frost and decorate the top
Let cool to room temp and then ice and sprinkle the tart.
