Apple Pie Poptarts
Make easy apple pie pop tarts with pie filling and pie crust and a simple glaze.
Servings: 6 -8 pop tarts
Cost: $5
Ingredients
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts (1 box)
- ½ 20 ounce can apple pie filling
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup (113g) powdered sugar
- 1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Open your can of pie filling and use kitchen scissors to slice the apples inside the can (so they're more bite size).
- Unroll one pie crust. Use a rolling pin to roll the circle into more of a rectangle shape. Use a knife to cut off the rounded edges, to give you an exact rectangle. Cut the rectangle into 6 equal rectangles, to form the pop-tart crust. Reserve the edges you cut off. Repeat with second crust.
- Lay out your crust rectangles on a flat surface. Place 1 tablespoon of apple pie filling in the center of half of them.
- Whisk egg in a small bowl. Use your finger and trace the edges of each of the rectangles containing applesauce with a bit of egg, to help in sealing the pop-tart. Cover the applesauce rectangles with a plain one and seal the edges together with the tines of a fork.
- Place pop-tarts on prepared baking sheets. Poke each pop-tart with a fork a few times so that air can escape while baking, so they don’t exapnd. Bake for about 13-15 minutes, until golden brown. Cool.
- Make the frosting by whisking together the powdered sugar and cinnamon and then adding 1 tablespoon milk. Whisk while adding more milk slowly, until you have a thick glaze. Glaze poptarts.
- Store in the refrigerator, these taste best room temperature or warmed. Warm on 50% power in 15 second increments in the microwave so as not to liquify the frosting. Do not toast, but you can warm them in a toaster oven. Freeze in a single layer for up to 3 months.

Notes
- The original recipe used crockpot applesauce as the filling. Use about 1/2 cup applesauce in place of the pie filling.
- You can also use my homemade pie crust recipe (double the recipe for 2 pie crusts).
- Be sure to slice the apples smaller, that way they're more bite size in the pop tart.
- The glaze won't harden completely but it will semi-dry. You can use heavy whipping cream and it will dry harder than if you use regular or nonfat milk.
