Step by Step Guide
1. Begin by stacking two pie crusts on top of each other. Use a pizza cutter to trim them into a square, then slice the square into four even rectangles. You should end up with eight rectangles in total, enough for the tops and bottoms of four pop tarts. Repeat this process with the remaining two pie crusts.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin pie mix, melted butter, and 1 cup of brown sugar. Stir until smooth, then transfer the mixture into a piping bag.
3. Take one rectangle and lay it flat. Pipe the pumpkin mixture down the center, then brush the edges with the beaten egg to help seal it.
4. Place another rectangle on top, gently pressing the edges together.
5. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a secure seal, and poke a few holes on top with a fork or toothpick to allow steam to escape.
6. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking oil. As you prepare each pop tart, place it gently on the sheet.
7. Once all 8 pop tarts are assembled, brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg. Bake them in a 400°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Allow them to cool once done.
8. While the pop tarts cool, prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar, packed brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a bowl. Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, whisking between additions until the icing reaches a smooth, glaze-like consistency. Pour this icing into a piping bag.
9. Pipe the icing over each cooled pop tart, then serve and enjoy! These delicious treats are sure to be a fall breakfast favorite.
And there you have it! These pop tarts are a must-try for fall. The best part is you can easily switch up the filling or glaze for different flavors to make them versatile for all kinds of fun seasonal twists. So, give these recipe a try and find yourself making them all autumn all along! Happy Baking!
