Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts
How many of you remember when pop tarts first came out? Without dating myself too much 🙂 I do remember being a kid and begging my mom to buy them! They were definitely considered a treat in our household as I don't think my mom thought they were appropriate for breakfast.
My favorite variety was strawberry and for the first few years they were available they weren't frosted. And while pop tarts are meant to be toasted, I loved them straight out of the package.
Pop Tarts are a classic treat and these pumpkin ones are perfect for the fall!
Let's fast forward to this year and not only can you still get them but now you can make your own and use about any filling you want. These pumpkin pie pop tarts have a fall spin on them including a maple glaze that makes the perfect frosting.
I'm not sure about you but sometimes I have just a bit of pumpkin puree filling left over from another recipe. The filling in these only take a ½ cup so be sure to save any leftover pumpkin you have and give these a try.
What ingredients are needed for Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts?
- Pumpkin Puree
- Brown Sugar
- Vanilla Paste (or extract)
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Maple Syrup
- Powdered Sugar
- Milk
- Pre-made Pie Crusts
How do you make pop tarts?
Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Cut four rectangles from each pie crust (you will have leftover scraps). Once the filling is mixed, place about 2 ½ tablespoons on the four rectangles leaving an ½" edge.
Place the top rectangle on, crimp edges and bake until edges turn brown (about 20 minutes)
Cool pop tarts; make glaze and frost.
Useful tips for making Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts:
- Keep them easy by using pre-made crust you can buy in the refrigerator or frozen section of the grocery store.
- The glazed pop tarts can be stored in an airtight container and kept in the refrigerator for 3 days.
- These can be frozen prior to glazing them - just wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a larger bag.
- Defrost pop tarts by removing from freezer for about 15-20 minutes
- To reheat - bake at 350 in oven or toaster oven for about 10 minutes then add glaze
- The pop tarts would also be good with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on glaze before it sets up
