Optional Pop Tart Filling Ideas
I chose to go with strawberry jelly when I made these homemade pop-tarts, but you could actually use all sorts of other filling ideas. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Peach jelly – If you love peaches, then this would be an excellent way to go. So flavorful!
- Grape jelly – I can’t help it; grape jelly has always been one of my favorites, so it just makes sense to add some in once in a while.
- Apple pie filling – Use a little bit of apple pie filling to give yourself a real treat! Yum!
- Nutella – This scrumptious hazelnut spread tastes impressive in all sorts of recipes, this one included! Try it; you won’t be disappointed.
- Cherry pie filling – It’s no surprise that cherry pie filling looks like blood in the coffin! Just an idea. :)
You can really use anything you think sounds good. Let your imagination run wild and try all sorts of ideas.
