INGREDIENTS YOU NEED
- 2 store bought pie crusts gluten free if needed
- 3 apples cored, peeled, and diced
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 large egg
Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions To Make Apple Pop Tarts
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out one half of your dough onto a lightly floured surface to a 13 by 11 inch rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Trim dough so sides are even and straight, to a 12 by 10 inch rectangle.
- Cut the dough into eight 5 by 3 inch rectangles. Arrange half of your rectangles onto your prepared parchment lined baking sheet. Set aside.
- In a pot or large skillet, heat the diced apples, sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg on medium-low heat until the apples are soft and tender. This will take about 10 minutes. Stir the apples occasionally to make sure they are all cooking evenly.
- Mash the apple mixture as much as you can with a fork or a potatoes masher.
- Use roughly 2 tbsp worth of filling and place it in the middle of the rectangles that are on your baking sheet. Leave about 1/4 inch around the edge.
- Place the other rectangles on top of the filled ones. Crimp the edges and pierce the tops with a fork. You should leave a little bit of space between each pop tart.
- Whisk your egg in a bowl and brush the top of your pop starts lightly with the egg wash.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges become slightly firm. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Carefully transfer your pop tarts to a cooling rack to firm up. They may be a little soft fresh out of the oven but don’t worry – they won’t stay that way.
Icing:
- Once your pop tarts have completely cooled, make your icing by whisking together all of your ingredients until smooth. Add in extra milk if it is too thick, 1 tbsp at a time.
- Spoon your icing over top of your pop tarts and top with crushed cookies, and enjoy!
