These Pumpkin Spice Pop Tarts are a delightful, homemade twist on the classic breakfast treat, filled with a spiced pumpkin filling and topped with a sweet pumpkin pie spice glaze and festive sprinkles. Perfect for celebrating the flavors of fall in a fun and easy-to-make pastry.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling

  • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 box refrigerated pie crust (usually 2 crusts per box)

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Sprinkles, for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the pop tarts perfectly.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, egg, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated, forming a smooth, spiced pumpkin filling.
  3. Cut the Pie Crusts: Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts on a clean countertop. Cut each crust into eight rectangles measuring approximately 3×4 inches. You may need to reroll the scraps to get a total of 16 rectangles (8 for the base and 8 to cover the filling).
  4. Assemble the Pop Tarts: Spoon the prepared pumpkin filling onto the center of 8 of the pie crust rectangles, being careful not to spread the filling all the way to the edges to allow room for sealing.
  5. Seal the Pastries: Place the remaining 8 rectangles on top of the filling to cover each tart. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges all around, ensuring the filling stays inside during baking.
  6. Transfer to Baking Sheet: Gently lift each assembled pop tart with a spatula and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for even baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the pop tarts in the preheated oven for 22 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. Once done, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the Glaze: While the pop tarts cool, whisk together powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and milk until smooth to create a sweet, spiced glaze.
  9. Glaze and Decorate: Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled pop tarts. Quickly top with sprinkles before the glaze sets to ensure they adhere beautifully.

Notes

  • Make sure the pop tarts are completely cool before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if unavailable.
  • For a dairy-free glaze, substitute milk with almond milk or any plant-based milk.
  • Store cooled pop tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • These pop tarts can be lightly warmed before serving for a freshly baked experience.
