Ingredients
  

  • 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:

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • 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!
