Brown sugar cinnamon poptarts are a breeze using refrigerated pie dough. Making Pop-Tarts with refrigerated pie crust is a simple way to use up extra pie dough you have.

Ingredients

  • 2 9 inch pie crusts (storebought is great!)
  • 1 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon (this is a heavy amount of cinnamon. If you like a lighter cinnamon taste, reduce to 1 tbsp.)
  • 1-2 tbsp butter (melted. Filling should be slightly like coarse mildy damp sand.)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon ( cinnamon should make icing light brown)
  • 1 tbsp warm water

Directions

    Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. 2

    Mix together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter. Set Aside. Filling should be mildly damp like a not very wet sand. Butter amount may need to increase if your brown sugar is dried out.

  4. 4

    Spread 1 tablespoon of melted butter on pie crust.

  6. 6

    Place second pie crust directly on top of first. Press the edges together. Crimp edges using a fork.

    Cool for 1 hour before frosting and cutting.

  9. 9

    Combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon. cinnamon, and 1-2 Tbs. water. Mix until fluid, but glaze should not be runny. Pour over top pie crust. Allow to set up before cutting.
