How to Make the Recipe

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. On half of the rectangles, spoon about 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar mixture in the center.
5. Place another rectangle on top and press the edges to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the Pop Tarts with the egg wash.
7. Place the Pop Tarts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. While they’re baking, mix powdered sugar with milk to create a simple icing.
9. Once the Pop Tarts are out of the oven and cooled slightly, drizzle the icing over the top.
10. Let them cool completely before serving. Enjoy!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Pop Tarts turn out perfectly:

• Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
• Experiment with different fillings! You can use fruit preserves, chocolate, or even nut butter for a fun twist.
• If you want to make these ahead of time, you can freeze the unbaked Pop Tarts and bake them straight from the freezer when you’re ready to enjoy.
• For a fun family activity, let your kids help with the filling and decorating!

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• For longer storage, you can freeze the baked Pop Tarts. Just make sure they are completely cooled before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer bag.
