For dough

Add water and vinegar and continue to pulse until smooth dough forms. Divide dough into 2 flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
To assemble
Roll chilled dough out onto a lightly floured surface into a 15” x 24” rectangle.
Cut out 3, 5”x 8” rectangles and brush the surface of each with the beaten egg. place 1/4 cup of the filling mixture into the bottom half of each rectangle (leaving a ¼ inch border).
Fold the top half of the rectangle-cut dough over the filling and gently press around the edges, getting rid of any air pockets. Using the back of a fork, seal the open edges. Gently score the top of each pop tart and brush with egg wash. Place them onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Repeat steps 5-7 with the remaining dough and filling.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the pop tarts are golden brown.
