Ingredients

Scale

For the Pumpkin Filling

  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp maple flavoring
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Dash of salt

For the Poptarts

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust roll (found near refrigerated biscuits)

For the Maple Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp maple flavoring
  • 1 Tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your poptarts to a golden finish.
  2. Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix together canned pumpkin, brown sugar, maple flavoring, pumpkin pie spice, and a dash of salt until fully combined and smooth. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Roll Out the Pie Crust: Lightly flour your work surface. Unroll the refrigerated pie crust and use a rolling pin to gently roll it out into a thin rectangle measuring approximately 6 by 22 inches.
  4. Cut the Dough: Cut the rolled dough into 8 even rectangles to create the base and topping for each poptart.
  5. Assemble the Poptarts: Place one rectangle on a baking sheet. Spoon a generous dollop of the pumpkin filling onto the center, leaving space around the edges for sealing.
  6. Seal the Poptarts: Place a second dough rectangle on top of the filling. Press down firmly on the edges, then use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges about 1/2 inch from the edge, ensuring a tight seal.
  7. Repeat Assembly: Continue assembling the remaining poptarts with the remaining dough pieces and filling.
  8. Bake: Bake the poptarts in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden brown and the crust is cooked through.
  9. Make the Maple Glaze: While the poptarts cool, whisk together powdered sugar, maple flavoring, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
  10. Glaze and Serve: Spoon the maple glaze generously over each cooled poptart. Allow the glaze to set and harden before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade treat!

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, prick the top pastry layer slightly before baking to release steam.
  • Ensure the edges are well sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • Maple flavoring can be substituted with pure maple syrup for a more natural taste, but adjust the liquid content in the glaze accordingly.
  • Leftover poptarts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • Reheat poptarts gently in a toaster oven for a warm treat.
