Homemade Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Pop Tarts
I surprised my kids with some freshly made pop tarts for breakfast. They were so excited when they found out they were filled with cinnamon and brown sugar. The pop tarts were extremely quick and easy to make and they tasted fantastic. My kids and husband gobbled them right up and enjoyed every last bite. I served these pop tarts with a Yogurt and Fruit Parfait and turkey sausage for a fun and tasty breakfast.
Homemade Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Pop-Tarts:
Ingredients:
- 1 premade pie crust
- Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg, mixed well
How to Make Homemade Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Pop Tarts
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.
Place the dough on top of a cutting board. Cut the dough into four squares. Roll the cut-off strips of dough out and make one more square.
Spread a small amount of butter on one side of the square.
Mix the cinnamon and sugar mixture until well combined. Spoon a bit of cinnamon mixture on top of the butter.
Fold the dough in half and gently seal the edges with your fingers. Take a fork and crimp the edges of the pop tart closed.
Slice a little vent into the top of each pop tart. Brush the tops of each pop tart with the egg wash. Sprinkle each pop tart with some of the raw brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a baking rack. Serve warm. Enjoy.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Super Mom!
as i think i mentioned in your previous pop-tart post (hooray alliteration!), brown sugar pop-tarts were always my favorite. what did they lack? cinnamon. 🙂
No offense to the strawberry ones. But these are just awesome. I am drooling.
And SO much healthier!
wow…home made poptarts…my girls would love these!
My kids would flip for these! They look fantastic! Thanks for a great idea.
Yum, yum. When I was a child my mom rolled out extra pie dough and sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on top. We ate it hot out of the oven. Heavenly.
Wow! I was never a huge pop tart fan, but when I did have one when I was younger, it was always the cinnamon brown sugar ones!
these sound awesome! i can't wait to try them, these were always my favorite ones too!
Wow a 2nd batch of homemade pop tarts….just great!! they look delicious!
Wow, nice pop tarts, I am sure that they better than the bought ones…love the pictures 🙂
Pam, they looks delicious!!!!
I'm sure your family loved these- who wouldn't! Yum!
I can honestly say that I have never, ever thought of making my own poptarts before reading your posts. Such a fabulous and great idea! The next time I have friends in from out of town (or heck, even go to stay with them myself) I'm thinking I'll make these, just for fun!
Nice!!!! i used to eat the store bought kinds all the time o snack on. I need to try making them at home. I'm sure they way better, too.
Very cool – my husband would love these!!
Oh wow, i subscribed to you through RSS and to my delight when i opened my homepage… oh yes, my kids will LOVE me to death!! Thank you!
What a great breakfast, and a great use for pie crust!
They just look so yummy.
Lucky kids x
What a great idea! Even if you took the time to make a pie crust this wouldn't take any time at all to come together! I wonder how it'd be with some diced apples thrown in. Mmm….
I have pie crust in the fridge!!
Oooh, more pop tarts! Who needs the box when you can make them?
Clever idea! They would be good with fruit in too, although you would have to be careful not to end up with a burnt mouth.
Those look wonderful- so much better than boxed ones.
great submit, very informative. I’m wondering why the opposite experts of this sector don’t realize this. You must proceed your writing. I’m sure, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!
