These Maple-Glazed Pumpkin Poptarts are made with pie crust, stuffed with a maple and pumpkin filling, and topped with a delicious maple glaze.
Do you love poptarts as much as I do? I remember in high school, my best friend and I would save our change and split one from the vending machine and every time, it was a little taste of heaven. Those babies are delicious! Too bad they didn’t have these Maple-Glazed Pumpkin Poptarts though. They’re better than any poptart I’ve ever bought! {Including the cinnamon roll ones. *gasp*}
One taste of these Maple-Glazed Pumpkin Poptarts and you’ll be hooked for life. They’re flaky, perfectly crisp and chewy, and taste like fall in your mouth. Zach dubbed them as one of best things I’ve ever made on the blog and not to toot my own horn or anything, but he might be right.
Don’t forget to pin this for later to your favorite Pinterest board.
Maple-Glazed Pumpkin Poptarts
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust roll {found near the refrigerated biscuits}
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 tsp. maple flavoring
- 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- dash of salt
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp. maple flavoring
- 1 Tbsp. milk
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
-
In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin sugar, maple extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix completely and set aside.
-
Turn your pie crust out onto a floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll your crust into a very thin rectangle, 6x22 inches. Cut into 8 even rectangles.
-
Place a rectangle on a baking sheet and spoon a large dollop of pumpkin mixture into the center of it, leaving enough room for the crimping.
-
Top with another pie crust piece and press down on the edges.
-
Using a fork, crimp the edges by placing the tip of your fork about 1/2 inch over the edge of the poptart, as pictured above.
-
Repeat these steps for the remaining 3 poptarts.
-
Bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges are lightly browned.
-
In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the glaze. Once poptarts have cooled, spoon the glaze over the top of them and wait until glazed hardens. Enjoy!
These really do look amazing! I plan on surprising my kids with these as their after-school snack one day this week. I’m so excited to give them a try 🙂
Yay! I hope they love them! 🙂
I didn’t get around to making these until today but they turned out great! The kids loved them and are already asking when we can have then again. Thanks for the recipe!
