❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We are huge fans of Pop Tarts, and as kids, these were our favorites. We have never tried to make them, but I had some pastry dough in the refrigerator and said why not?! Most people make these with pie crust, but I thought this dough might be good, and I was right. We loved them!

SWAPS

Now, if you love other kinds of pop tarts, you can easily change out the filling! We always loved the strawberry ones, and I will try to make those next. I think you could easily leave the frosting off of these, too. They are delicious either way.

⭐TIP

We used an egg wash on these pop tarts, and it did help make them golden brown. It is important to poke holes in the top pastry so they don’t puff up too much.

• 1 roll puff pastry dough
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoon heavy cream

For the Icing

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 5 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Roll out pastry dough. Cut the dough into 12 square blocks. In a small bowl beat one egg and whisk in the 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to create an egg wash.

• With a pastry brush, you will brush the egg wash over 6 of the blocks. Next add about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the egg washed blocks.

• Place another block on each pastry and crimp the edges with a fork. Then egg wash the top block and crimped edges. Take a fork and poke 3-4 holes in the top of each pastry.
