Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust roll (found near refrigerated biscuits)

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 tsp maple flavoring
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Dash of salt

Maple Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp maple flavoring
  • 1 Tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to ensure it’s ready for baking the pop-tarts.
  2. Prepare Pumpkin Filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the canned pumpkin, packed brown sugar, maple flavoring, pumpkin pie spice, and a dash of salt. Mix until fully blended and set the mixture aside.
  3. Roll Out Pie Crust: Turn the refrigerated pie crust out onto a floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the crust into a thin rectangle measuring approximately 6 by 22 inches for even pop-tart size.
  4. Cut Crust Rectangles: Cut the rolled-out dough into 8 even rectangles to form the base and tops for your pop-tarts.
  5. Assemble Pop-Tarts: Place one rectangle on a baking sheet. Spoon a generous dollop of the pumpkin filling into the center, leaving enough space around the edges for sealing.
  6. Seal Edges: Top with a second rectangle of pie crust and press the edges together firmly to seal.
  7. Crimp Edges: Use a fork to crimp all around the edges approximately 1/2 inch from the edge of the pop-tart. This ensures a secure seal and adds detail.
  8. Repeat Assembly: Repeat the filling, topping, pressing, and crimping process for the remaining four pop-tarts.
  9. Bake Pop-Tarts: Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden brown.
  10. Prepare Maple Glaze: While the pop-tarts bake, whisk together powdered sugar, maple flavoring, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
  11. Glaze Pop-Tarts: After baking, allow the pop-tarts to cool completely. Then spoon the maple glaze over the tops and let it harden before serving. Enjoy your warm, delicious maple-glazed pumpkin pop-tarts!

Notes

  • Ensure the edges are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  • You can substitute pure maple syrup for maple flavoring if preferred, adjusting quantity to taste.
  • For crispier crust, roll the dough thinner but be careful not to make it too flimsy.
  • Allow glaze to harden completely to avoid stickiness when eating.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
