These homemade cinnamon brown sugar Pop Tarts were incredible! And they were so easy to make! They taste just like Pop Tarts. I was so impressed I think I giggled in-between bites. I loved and I do mean LOVED cinnamon Pop Tarts as a kid! Sadly, I could devour a box in no time (assuming Mom wasn’t watching). Just give me some Pop Tarts and a glass of cold milk for dunking and I was one happy boy!

The Perfect Crusts

The crusts on these homemade cinnamon brown sugar pop tarts were flaky and light. The filling is oh-so-yummy! These are the perfect milk-dunking pop tarts! As a kid I would often eat the crunchy crusts first. I’d save the soft, warm, delicious middles for last.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour.
  • Working one sheet at a time, roll out the pie crusts to about a 1/8″ thickness and cut into 3″ x 4″ rectangles. You should get 6 rectangles out of each dough roll.
  • Place 12 of the dough rectangles onto baking sheets. These will be the bottoms of the tarts.
  • Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush onto the crusts.
  • Make the filling by combining all ingredients and place 1 heaping tablespoon onto the center of each tart bottom. Do not get the filing within 1/4″ of the edges of the dough.
  • Place the remaining dough rectangles on top of the bottoms and press down along the edges with your fingers to seal. Use a fork to then crimp the edges.
  • Brush tops with egg wash.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  • Make the icing by combining all the of ingredients, beating with a fork. Add more milk if the mixture is too thick, but don’t add too much or it’ll be too thin.
  • Brush icing on top of tarts.
  • To serve, reheat in a toaster or toaster oven.
