Ingredients
– 340 g all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 230 g cold unsalted butter, cubed
– 140 g ice cold water
– 200 g canned pumpkin purรฉe
– 100 g brown sugar
– ยฝ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
– ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 beaten egg
– 100 g powdered sugar
– ยฝ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
– 2 ยฝ teaspoons milk
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
1-Combine the flour and salt in a bowl, then cut in the cold butter until it forms pea-sized pieces for that flaky texture.
2-Add the ice cold water to make a shaggy dough, and fold it onto itself 2-3 times to build layers without kneading, which keeps it tender.
3-Divide the dough in half, shape each into discs, wrap them up, and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight to set properly.
4-Mix the pumpkin purรฉe, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract together to create a smooth, tasty filling.
5-Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
6-Roll out one dough disc on a floured surface to about โ inch (3 mm) thickness, then cut into rectangles about 2.5 by 3.5 inches; do the same with the second disc and any scraps.
7-Place half of the dough pieces on the baking sheet, spacing them 1-2 inches apart, and spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto each, leaving a ยพ inch border.
8-Cover each with a matching dough piece, seal the edges with a fork, and brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
9-Bake for around 40 minutes until they turn golden brown, then let them cool before adding the icing.
10-Mix the powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, milk, and vanilla extract to make a thick, pourable icing, and drizzle it over the cooled pop tarts.

โ๏ธ Keep butter and dough cold to achieve a flaky, crispy crust; refrigerate if dough softens.
๐ซ Avoid kneading the dough; folding creates flaky layers and prevents toughness.
๐ Roll dough thin (about 1/8 inch) to prevent a hard crust, since dough expands during baking.
๐ด Use moderate filling amounts to prevent leakage.
๐ง Dough and unbaked pop tarts freeze well for up to 1 month; thaw before baking.
๐ง Homemade dough offers better texture and flavor customization over store-bought options.
