Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts are a delicious fall treat. The flaky crust and creamy pumpkin filling are a winning combination. I am obsessed with fall baking, especially recipes that use pumpkin. It’s still nearly 90 degrees outside, but I am ready for some fall goodies. These easy to make pumpkin pop tarts are a great way to kick off the fall baking season!
Pumpkin Bars with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting, Pumpkin Doughnuts, and Pumpkin Muffins are a few of my other fall favorites. Yum. It’s time to start baking.
Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts
Makes 6 pop tarts
Ingredients:
2 premade pie crusts (such as Pillsbury- they come 2 to a box), room temperature
3⁄4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling – something like Libby’s puree)
2 eggs, divided
1⁄2 tsp cinnamon
1⁄8 tsp nutmeg
1⁄8 tsp salt
1⁄3 cup brown sugar
For glaze
2 tsp milk
1⁄4 cup powdered sugar
Directions:
1. Roll out both your pie crusts to about 1⁄8 inch thick, cutting 6 rectangles out from each crust. Ball up remaining crust, roll out again, cutting more rectangles until you have desired amount (should have 12 total). Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, add 1 egg and whisk. Then add pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar; combine well; set aside.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
4. Using a baking sheet covered in parchment or a nonstick mat, add 6 rectangles. In a small bowl, place other egg and beat lightly. Brush the top of the 6 rectangles with egg wash (the side that is facing up and at you- this will help seal the tops on when you put them on). Then, add about 1 1⁄2 TBS pumpkin mixture to the center of each rectangle (on top of the egg wash).
5. Place remaining rectangles on top of pumpkin mixture. Using your finger, press lightly around the edges or the rectangles to ‘seal’ together. Then, using a fork, press the edges together carefully. Fork 2-3 times on the top as well, to allow heat to escape the inside while baking.
6. Place into preheated oven, bake for 20-25 minutes or until tops are golden.
7. While baking, whip up your glaze – pour powdered sugar into a small bowl, then slowly add milk until you have desired consistency.
8. Remove pastries from oven, then drizzle with glaze. Serve hot or cold.
This is such a yummy treat!

What a great Fall recipe! I bet my kids would enjoy this for breakfast, they love pop tarts and homemade has to be so much better!
Oh these look great. I’ve never tried pumpkin anything before, but I would love to try this. My kids love poptarts and I don’t buy them often, so I’d love to make my own for them.
