Ingredients

Scale

For the pastry

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

¼ cup granulated sugar

¼ tsp salt

¼ to ½ cup cold water (as needed)

For the filling

½ cup light brown sugar, packed

 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the optional icing

¾ cup powdered sugar

12 tbsp milk (or plant-based)

Pinch cinnamon (optional)


Instructions

Prepare the dough: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water until dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.

Make the filling: Stir melted butter with brown sugar and cinnamon until evenly blended.

Assemble on sheet pan: Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Roll chilled dough into a roughly 12 × 16‑inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a parchment‑lined sheet pan. Spread filling mixture evenly over half the dough, leaving a small border. Fold dough over to cover filling, gently pressing edges to seal.

Score and cut: Use a knife or ruler to score the top into individual rectangular pop‑tarts (e.g. 3 × 4 grid), pressing lightly to seal but not cutting through fully. Prick each with fork tines to vent.

Bake: Brush the tops with a little milk or egg wash. Bake 20–25 minutes until golden‑brown.

Ice (optional): Once cooled slightly, whisk powdered sugar with milk (and a dash of cinnamon), drizzle over the warm pop‑tarts.

Serve: Let cool completely on a rack so filling sets. Slice along scored lines and enjoy.
