Homemade Brown Sugar Pop Tarts

My homemade Brown Sugar Pop-Tarts are perfectly crisp, buttery, and not too sweet. They're surprisingly simple to make with a few pantry staples. Guaranteed to spark some childhood nostalgia!

Ingredients

Pastry Crust

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (310g)
• 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon table salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, very cold and cut into pieces (226g)
• ½ cup sour cream (120g)

Brown Sugar Filling

• 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed (200g)
• 1 ½ Tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ heaping teaspoon table salt

• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Egg Wash

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon water

Brown Sugar Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar (125g)
• 2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar, firmly packed (can use light brown if you don’t have dark but the color won’t be as dark)
• 1-2 Tablespoons milk (I use whole milk, if using lower-fat milk you may need a bit less)
• 1 Tablespoon light corn syrup
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
