Starbucks is selling some expensive but tasty “pop tarts” right now. I’ve tried the strawberry ones and they are really good. They are basically pie dough with sweeter than usual strawberry jam inside (but way less sweet than an actual Pop Tart).
I keep thinking I should try making them myself. But as I wrote this I realized maybe some empanadas would work instead. Or around here in New Mexico they call them “pastelitos”. Basically pie dough with peach, apricot, apple, etc. filling inside (anything you want really, but they have more filling compared to a pop tart.) I can’t find the recipe I used to use but the NYT has one: http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014156-dried-fruit-pastelitos Instead of making one big pastry and cutting into squares, you could cut the dough smaller and fully wrap each one so it is less likely to leak. Now I’m totally going to make these before we go camping next. :-) And you could buy pre-made pie dough, too, to make life easier.
