Blueberry Pie Pops (Poptarts)
September 14, 2011 § 23 Comments
These blueberry pie pops are super easy to make and fun to eat too. You can make the pie crust from scratch and keep it handy in the freezer or use store bought to keep it really easy to make.
This recipe is adapted from the blog Family Kitchen.
Pie Pops
- 1 c fresh blueberries
- 2-3 tbsp sugar (more or less depending on how sweet you want it)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 package prepared pie crust (or homemade…enough to make crust for two pies or top and bottom of one)
- lollipop sticks
Glaze
- 1/2 c powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp fresh blueberry puree
- *1-2 drops of blue food coloring optional since the puree doesn’t really make the glaze blue
In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, cornstarch, sugar, water, and vanilla.
Stir and break down some of the blueberries until it has thickened.
Set aside to let cool.
Preaheat oven to 400 degrees.
Roll out pie crust and cut out rectangles (for pop tarts) or use cookie cutters for fun shapes.
Arrange half of the cut out pie crusts on baking sheets covered with parchment paper.
Spoon blueberry filling onto pie crust. (don’t overfill, the amount will depend on how large you cut your pie crusts)
Place a popsicle stick on top of the filling.
Cover the filling with the rest of the pieces of pie crust.
Crimp the edges together using a fork or a lollipop stick. (I didn’t seal mine well and they oozed while baking, but when cooled it stayed together anyway.)
Bake for about 10 minutes.
In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the glaze and mix well.
Once the blueberry pops are out of the oven and cooled, spoon or brush the glaze onto each pie pop.
Oh wow, they look so fun. Lovely photography too.
Thanks! π
So so pretty π a gorgeous little idea
Thanks sasha! π
Ive seen loads of recipes for cake pops etc, but never one for pie pops…Great idea and they look tasty:)
Thanks Irishbaker! When I saw these on the Family Kitchen I knew I had to try them. π
These little pops are so cute, and I am sure they are delicious!
Thanks lokness! π
What a fun idea! I think my kiddos would love these!
[…] c blueberry jam (I used the jam from this recipe since it was in the fridge, but even pureed blueberries would work.) Beat all the ingredients […]
[…] Delicious and Easy!! From foodiejulie […]
I’m imagining variations with apple pie & pumpkin pie fillings
pumpkin pie would be so good! and you can use pumpkin cookie cutters to make the pumpkin shape. π
Can these be baked and frozen or frozen before baking? I need to make 2000!
Thanks,
Kathie
Hi kathie- wow 2000?! Hope I’m not responding too late. You can freeze them either before or after baking. My preference is before.
Just assemble them and place the on a cookie sheet. Single layer and not touching. Then place them into a heavy duty freezer bag in the freezer once fully frozen.
You can bake it straight from the freezer, it might take a few mins more. Then glaze. Hope this helps.
This is such an adorable idea! I’ve pinned it and shared a link on our Little Hands that Cook with Books and Blueberries! I can’t wait to make them with my daughter. http://theeducatorsspinonit.blogspot.com/2012/05/30-ways-to-eat-blueberries.html
Thanks! And thanks so much for the link. π
What a great variety for a pie pop! We just picked some fresh blueberries, so I might have to try this recipe.

How many pops does this recipe make?
Thanks!
Hi Rebecca!
If you’re using the store bought pie crusts, one box yields about 3 dozen. I usually make my pops around 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter and I re-roll the scraps to make more circles. Just don’t over work the dough (these will bake up a little smaller).
