    You can make delicious and easy Air Fryer Pop-Tarts at home! Use store-bought puff pastry or make your own. Then add a homemade fruit filling and homemade fruit frosting and you will have a treat that everyone will love!

    Ingredient List for Air Fryer Pop Tarts

    • blueberries
    • raspberries (can sub strawberries)
    • huckleberries (can sub blackberries)
    • sugar
    • corn starch
    • puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
    • confectioners powdered sugar
    • berry syrup from the berry compote
    • lemon juice
    • sprinkles of choice

    What Berries to Use for The Filling

    The berries in the compote filling can be fresh or frozen or a combination of both. For my pop tarts, I used fresh blueberries and frozen raspberries, and huckleberries. When berries aren't in season, you can usually find a frozen bag of berries with several types. You also don't have to have 3 berries, you can just use your favorite!

    How to make Pop Tart Pastries in the Air Fryer

    Make the Berry Compote Filling First

    Place the berries and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring and smashing the berries. Allow Add the cornstarch and stir in. Allow the mixture to bubble for about a minute and then remove it from the heat.

    TIP: Store any leftover compote and syrup in a sealed container in the fridge. Use it as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, cereal, etc. You can also use it for a refreshing drink with sparkling water or add it to a cocktail!

    Assemble and Cook The Tarts

    1. Roll out the sheet of puff pastry into a large rectangle. Cut it into 8 smaller rectangles of equal size. Place about 2 tablespoon of berry compote onto one side of a rectangle.
    2. Fold over the other half of the pastry and score with a fork around the edges and poke a few holes with a fork in the top of the pastry. Repeat with the rest of the puff pastry rectangles.
    3. Spray the basket of the air fryer with non-stick spray and place the pastries in the basket. Cook at 350ยฐF for 10-12 minutes. Remove the pastries from the air fryer and allow them to cool on a rack or plate.

    Make the Berry Frosting

    In a medium bowl or a large measuring cup (I used my measuring cup for easy pouring), add the powdered sugar, berry sauce from the compote, and lemon juice and whisk together until smooth. Drizzle the frosting on top of the cooked pop tarts and add sprinkles to the top.

    Types of Air Fryers

    There are so many different types of air fryers out there now, and each one is slightly different. There are countertop air fryers, air fryer ovens, and air fryer attachments to name a few.

    I have theย COSORI Pro Air Fryer Oven Comboย (shown below) and I love it. It does take up some counter space so make sure you have room for it. If you want a smaller option, check out theย COSORI Small Air Fryerย or anย attachmentย for the Instant Pot.

    Air Fryer Tips

    • Make sure you don't overcrowd the air fryer basket so that the hot air can circulate all around the pop tarts.
    • If a little filling leaks out the side, don't panic, the pop tarts will still taste great!
    • Non-stick spray is your friend! You always want to spray the basket and food before air frying (unless otherwise noted) so that nothing sticks to the basket and the outside of your food gets nice and crispy.
    • Tongs are also your friend for pulling out hot food from an air fryer. Always be careful and use a utensil because itโ€™s hot in there!
    • Remember to always read the instruction manual and follow what your manufacturer recommends.
