pumpkin poptarts

Ingredients

  • Glaze:
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, sugar, and egg. Unroll pie crusts, cut the edges off to make a large square, then cut the pie crust into three equal rectangles (about 2″ x 3″). Spoon a small amount of pumpkin mixture into the center of one of the rectangles, taking care to not let the filling ooze near the edges. Use a small paring knife to carve jack-o-lantern faces into a second rectangle. Gently lay the carved piece over the pumpkin filling, then press the edges firmly together with a fork. Transfer to a cookie sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or just until the edges of the poptart begin to turn golden brown.

In a large bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla. Drizzle glaze over hot pumpkin poptarts. Allow to cool on a cooling rack before serving.
