Ingredients
For the Dough
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter cold, cubed
- 0.5 cup cold water
For the Filling
- 0.5 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
For the Glaze
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the cold water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Make the Filling
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Stir in the melted butter.
Assemble and Bake
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out rectangles (about 3x4 inches).
- Place half of the rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with the egg wash.
- Spoon the filling onto the rectangles. Top with the remaining dough rectangles and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Make the Glaze and Serve
- In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
- Once the Pop-Tarts have cooled slightly, drizzle with the glaze.
- Let the glaze set, then serve and enjoy!
