Cut each piece of dough into thirds – you’ll form nine 3? x 4? rectangles. into a rectangle about 1/8? thick, large enough that you can trim it to an even 9? x 12? Repeat with the second piece of dough.Place one piece on a lightly floured work surface, and roll it If the dough has been chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and allow it to soften and become workable, about 15 to 30 minutes.I can’t wait to try them with other fruit fillings, nutella and numerous other things! I used my favorite butter pie crust which always puffs and browns so beautifully. I opted to go without a glaze since the insides were pretty sugary, but of course a glaze would only make them more delicious. These pop-tarts are widely adaptable, easy, and so satisfying. So, when I decided I wanted to try to make homemade pop-tarts again last week, I knew this was the one. Kinda like a pocket cinnamon roll with the brown sugar all warm and gooey on the inside and the crust all buttery and crisp. Right out of the toaster, they were pretty much heaven. Lucky for me, once I hit 17 I became a bit of a health nut myself and never really missed them.Īll these years later, I still haven’t forgotten how good those Cinnamon Brown Sugar Pop-tarts were. We’d had the health-food store version before, but they couldn’t quite compare. Pop-tarts were one of my most exciting finds. I remember diving for the junk food every time I was at a friend’s house to the point of probably looking underfed. In hindsight, I’m so thankful for her diligence, but at the time I was pretty bummed about it.
I think once we were allowed Cinnamon Toast Crunch to have as dessert but that’s pretty much it. As I’ve mentioned before, my Mom didn’t let us have junk food in the house.
