Scale

- 1 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tbsp Tapioca Starch
- 1 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 7 tbsp vegan butter (cold)
- 1 large egg

- 1 tbsp strawberry-rhubarb compote (for glaze)
- 1 tbsp almond milk (for glaze)

Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Place all the filling ingredients in a pot over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook for about 6-8 minutes until thickened.
- Make the Dough: In a food processor, combine the gluten-free flour, tapioca flour, maple syrup, and sea salt. Pulse in the vegan butter until coarse crumbs form.
- Add cold water and pulse until dough begins to come together, then gather and roll out to 1/8″ thick.
- Cut the Dough: Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out circles, making pairs for each pop tart.
- Assemble the Pop Tarts: Place half the circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet, fill with 1 tablespoon of filling, and top with remaining circles. Seal edges with a fork.
- Make the Egg Wash: Whisk together egg and water, then brush over the tops of the pop tarts.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 24-27 minutes, until golden brown.
- Create the Glaze: Whisk together strawberry rhubarb filling, almond milk, and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Drizzle with Love: Drizzle the glaze over cooled pop tarts and let set before serving.
