Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 c. fresh cherries, pitted and diced (or any kind of fruit)
3 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. water
1/2 tsp. almond extract
Homemade pie crust
Wooden popsicle sticks
1 c. powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Food coloring and sprinkles
Directions:
Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch and almond extract. Heat on stove over medium heat until mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool. Unroll pie crusts and use a pizza cutter to slice them into 1 1/2x 2-inch rectangles. (I used a ruler to measure mine into equal sizes. Just use a butter knife to score your pie crust before cutting). Place a wooden popsicle stick on top of one of the cut rectangles, then spoon a small amount (about 1 1/2 tsp) of cooled cherry filling into the center of the pie square, taking care not to get it near the edges. Gently lay a second rectangle over the top of the cherry filling. Press the edges of the rectangles together with a fork. Transfer to a baking sheet. Bake pop tart pops in an oven preheated to 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, or just until the edges begin to brown. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make a glaze. Tint with food coloring, if desired. Spoon over cooled pop tart pops, sprinkle with colored sugar, and allow to the glaze to harden slightly before serving.
