  7. Remove pop tarts from air fryer and spread vanilla icing and sprinkles on top. Iced pop tarts on a cooling rack.
  8. Serve and enjoy!

Do I need to work in batches?

Yes, you will likely need to work in batches. If you are cooking in an air fryer oven, then you may be able to air fry the whole batch of pop tarts in one batch. Pop tarts should be spaced out in the air fryer to ensure they cook evenly.

How to store homemade pop tarts?

Homemade air fried pop tarts can be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Can I use a frozen pie crust?

Yes, but you will want to defrost the pie crust to room temperature before using it.
