Instructions

Prepare the filling by mixing sliced strawberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
In another bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold butter and mix until crumbly. Gradually add cold water until a dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into rectangles.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Assemble pop tarts by placing filling between dough rectangles and sealing edges.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool before glazing with a mixture of powdered sugar and cream.
