Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 packages (4 sheets) refrigerated pie dough or homemade pastry
- 1 egg (for brushing)
- 1 tbsp milk
For the Filling:
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1 – Prepare the Dough: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 13×9-inch sheet pan with parchment paper. Roll out one sheet of pie dough to fit the pan, pressing gently into the corners.
- Step 2 – Make the Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and melted butter until crumbly. Spread evenly over the bottom crust, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
- Step 3 – Add the Top Crust: Place the second sheet of pie dough on top. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork or crimping by hand. Cut small slits on top to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp milk) for a golden finish.
- Step 4 – Bake to Perfection: Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and flaky. Let cool completely before glazing.
- Step 5 – Mix & Spread the Glaze: In a bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth. Spread evenly over the cooled Pop-Tart using a spatula. Let the glaze set for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
💡 Pro Tip: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the filling for extra warmth, or drizzle with extra glaze for bakery-style presentation!
