Pumpkin chai pop tarts

These pumpkin chai pop tarts are crispy, flaky, and filled with a warm pumpkin pie filling and topped with a chai glaze.

As an ode to Taylor Swift and in celebration of  the release of “The Life of a Showgirl” I decided to make a batch of homemade pop tarts.  We all know that Taylor loves to bake, from sourdough, to pop tarts and her beloved chai sugar cookies. These pumpkin chai pop tarts are a mash up of just that, and with a pre-made pie crust, they are easy to make and delicious for fall! Scroll down for my recipe.

 

Pumpkin chai pop tarts

recipe makes 4 pop tarts

Ingredients:

• 2 rolls of refrigerated pie crust
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2  cup light brown sugar
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 egg
• 1/4 tsp salt

For the frosting

• 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
• 2 tbsp chai tea
• 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
• pinch of pumpkin pie spice

Directions:

1.) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2.) On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust. Cut into 4 squares or you can use fun cookie cutters for shapes if you’d like.

3.) Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place 4 of the squares onto the lined baking sheet.

4.) In a mixing bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, egg and salt.

5.) Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to scoop 1 mound of the pumpkin filling and place in the center of each square of dough, leaving  about 1/2 inch of the edges empty.

6.) Cover each square with the remaining squares of pie crust and use a fork to pinch the edges together.

7.) Brush the edges with an egg wash (1 egg and 1 tbsp water).

8.) Bake in the oven until the edges are golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.

9.) While the poptarts are baking, prepare the icing, prepare the icing. In a small mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar, chai tea, heavy whipping cream and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until smooth.  If the icing is too runny, add a little more powdered sugar.

10.) Remove the poptarts from the oven and drizzle a spoonful of icing on top of each pop tart. Optional – sprinkle with a brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice or sprinkles.
