Ingredients
  

  • Poptart & Filling
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crust
  • 1/2 pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs (one for filling the other for egg wash)
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Cinnamon Icing
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Pastry Brush
  • Rolling Pin

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Filling
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, half of the egg (reserve the rest for egg wash), brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  3. Whisk until smooth and well blended. Set aside.
  4. Prep the Pie Crust
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts and gently roll them out if you want thinner, crispier poptarts.
  7. Cut the dough into small rectangles (about 3x4 inches). You should get 12 rectangles to make 6 poptarts.
  8. Assemble the Poptarts
  9. Lay 6 rectangles on the baking sheet.
  10. Add 1–2 tablespoons of pumpkin filling to the center of each piece.
  11. Brush edges lightly with the remaining egg wash.
  12. Place another dough rectangle on top and press edges with a fork to seal.
  13. Brush tops with egg wash for a golden crust.
  14. Bake
  15. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the poptarts are golden brown.
  16. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes before icing.
  17. Make the Cinnamon Icing
  18. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and heavy cream/milk until smooth.
  19. Drizzle or spread icing over the cooled poptarts.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the cooling step—if the poptarts are too warm, the icing will melt right off.
  • Customize the spice by adding nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice for deeper fall flavor.
  • Make a thicker icing by adding more sugar; make it thinner by adding a little more milk.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container for 2–3 days or refrigerate up to a week.
