Serves: 6 pop tarts
Ingredients
  • Pop tart:
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 4 tart apples (like Granny Smith), peeled and diced
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2-3 Tbsp water, as needed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 sheets thawed puff pastry
  • 1 egg mixed with 1 tsp water
  • .
  • Frosting:
  • 125 g cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-4 Tbsp milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking tray with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Saute apples, cinnamon, and two tablespoons or so of water until apples have softened, 5-8 minutes. Toss with sugar and remove from heat.
  3. Roll out puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 6 equal rectangles. Place 6 of the rectangles on prepared baking tray and brush with egg mixture; set the remaining 6 aside.
  4. Transfer apple mixture to the 6 pastry rectangles on the baking tray. Top with the remaining rectangles and pinch the edges together with the tines of a fork to seal them shut. Poke holes in the tops so steam can vent as they cook. Lightly brush with remaining egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and lightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. While pop tarts cool, make frosting. Beat together the cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla, and milk. Start with less milk and add more until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Top pop tarts with frosting and eat immediately.
