Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your delicious Pumpkin Pop Tarts:

1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. Add Water: Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Don’t overmix; it should be slightly tacky.

3. Chill the Dough: Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

4. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Mix until smooth and set aside.

5. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out one disc of chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into rectangular shapes (about 3×4 inches).

6. Add Filling: Place a tablespoon of pumpkin filling in the center of half of the rectangles, leaving a border around the edges.

7. Seal the Tarts: Place another rectangle of dough on top of each filled rectangle. Press the edges with a fork to seal. Make sure to poke holes in the top of each tart for steam to escape.

8. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the Pop Tarts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

9. Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over each Pop Tart for a golden finish.

10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.

11. Cool and Ice: Once out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly. Mix powdered sugar and milk to create a smooth icing and drizzle over the cooled tarts.
