Yes! A pop tart does not bake for as long as a pie to allow the apples to get soft. This recipe guides how to cook the apples into an apple jam before filling the pop tart. If you are preferring to make an apple pie pop tart, you will not need to cook canned apple pie filling before putting it in the pop tart, but if you will be using a homemade apple pie filling, it will need to be cooked and cooled before putting it in the pie crust.
