  • Total Time: 3 hours
  • Yield: 9 pop tarts 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 and 1/2 cups (313g) all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (16 Tbsp; 226g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) ice water, plus more as needed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed dark or light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg mixed with 2 teaspoons milk (egg wash)
  • 3/4 cup (90g) confectioners’ sugar, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) milk, plus more as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the pastry dough by mixing flour, sugar, salt, and butter. Add ice water gradually until dough forms.
  2. Divide dough into two discs, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  3. Roll out one disc into a 9×12-inch rectangle, cut into 9 smaller rectangles, and refrigerate.
  4. Repeat with the second disc.
  5. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour for the filling.
  6. Assemble pop tarts by brushing egg wash on bottom rectangles, adding filling, and topping with egg-washed rectangles.
  7. Press edges to seal, poke holes in tops, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden.
  9. Cool completely before icing.
  10. Mix confectioners’ sugar, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla for glaze. Spread over cooled pop tarts.

Notes

  • Chill dough thoroughly for best results.
  • Seal edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking.
  • Store in an airtight container for freshness.
