Pumpkin Pop Tarts with Maple Icing

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 12 pop tarts
Pumpkin isn't just for dessert - here's a fun way to make it a part of breakfast, too! These pop tarts have a pumpkin cream cheese filling and maple icing with just a sprinkle of sea salt to keep things interesting.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup pureed pumpkin
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 puff pastry sheets
  • 1 egg
  • Trader Joe's maple butter, or 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and milk
  • Flaky sea salt, like Maldon's

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whip together the pumpkin and cream cheese until fluffy and light in color. Fold in the maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  • Flour a work surface and a rolling pin. Roll out the puff pastry sheets until about 16 inches long, then cut each one into 12 squares.
  • Place a dollop of the pumpkin cream cheese mixture on 12 of the 24 total squares.
  • Fill a small bowl with water. Dip your finger in it and run it along the edges of the filled squares. Place a non-filled square on top of each filled square, then take a small fork, dip it in the water, and crimp the edges closed.
  • Whisk the egg in a small bowl, then brush it over the top of each pop tart.
  • Bake at 425 F for 14-17 minutes, until golden brown.
  • If you don't have maple butter and are making maple icing, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and add milk 1 tbsp at a time until desired consistency is reach. It should be thin enough to drizzle but not too thin.
  • Let pop tarts cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle with the maple butter or icing. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and serve.

Notes

Trader Joe's maple butter makes the perfect icing for this!
You'll have leftover pumpkin filling. Spread it on waffles, pancakes, or make cinnamon rolls.
