First things first. I was going to make this post into a step-by-step. Because… Umm. I totally think you can't read and you need me to explain how to roll out dough, and spoon on a mixture of 3 ingredients. Too easy, I can't even DEAL!
Anyways. Now that that's over with...
Awhile ago, I was thinking of things I miss… Depressing I know. Things I miss being Starbucks Gingerbread Lattes {if one of you would be every so kind as to figure out how to send me one, I'd love you forever.}, snow, walking around in town without someone coming up to me and saying "Taxi sistaaa!", the beach, Target, an oven that works, and… Poptarts.
Growing up {heck. I'm still growing up. But ya know…} I used to eat Poptarts for breakfast all the time. The brown sugar cinnamon ones were my absolute favorite and I couldn't hold myself back from the ooey-gooey party goin' on inside. That is until I started caring about what I ate, exercising daily, ya da ya da ya da.
Well today's recipe obviously is not a healthy one. BUT. It's totally delicious, ridiculously quick and easy, and comes together with only 5 ingredients!
Winner, winner, cinnamon brown sugar Poptarts for dinner.
Cinnamon Brown Sugar Poptarts
recipe adapted from The Baker Chick
makes 6 large pastries
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed {or your favorite homemade pastry}
1/2 c. dark brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
4 tsp. AP flour + more for rolling out the dough
sugar for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 375ºF. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry until thin. Cut into 12 squares and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Evenly distribute the filling onto 6 of the squares. Place a second square of dough on top of each of the ones with filling. Pinch the edges shut with a fork and cut of excess dough. Sprinkle with sugar and slit the tops. Bake for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.
The brown sugar cinnamon poptarts are the only ones I eat!
ReplyDeleteSorry I can't send you a latte :(
I like the new blog design too, btw :)
DeleteHahaha it's okay. I'll just go latte-less for another year and a half. ;) and thank you!
DeleteUm HELLO. Get in my mouth. Seriously though, these look amazing (and I have a slight obsession with anything cinnamon sugar).
ReplyDeletelol Thanks Niki!
DeleteI used to love Brown Sugar Pop Tarts too! It's always a bummer when you're missing things from your past. I find that to be even more prevalent in the holiday season, which always makes me a little sad. I have made homemade pop tarts before with homemade pie crust - still really easy to make - and I think they taste even more like the real thing.
ReplyDeleteThat's totally true about missing stuff around the holidays! Especially gingerbread lattes, candy canes, etc. It will be that much better though when we get back :)
DeleteIf you send me a package of these, I will send you a gingerbread latte. :) Just kidding, but these look great. And, I cannot imagine living without Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha Frappe's. They are one of the things that keep me going.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I totally would if I could ;) And thanks, Kennedy!
DeleteI am dying to try this recipe!! It looks waaaaay better than any pop tart that came from a box! I can't wait! Thanks for sharing - you have a great blog!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'm totally going to have to try this! These look amazing. Just found your blog via the blog hop. I'm so impressed with you! You are one talented teenager. My husband is a youth pastor and I work alongside of him, I will have to share your blog with my girls - they will totally love it! We had several girls go to Africa last summer on mission trips - totally changed their lives. Praying for you!
ReplyDeletebrown sugar cinnamon poptarts are my husband's favorite! He eats them everyday, one day they're bound to catch up with him I'm sure, but I'm curious to try these now. Thanks for the great recipe :)
ReplyDelete*Here from the blog hop
I agree, they're the best! :) Thanks so much for stopping by!
DeleteBrown sugar cinnamon poptarts are my favorite, too! I'm sad you don't have them in SA, but at least you have this homemade version which looks out-of-this-world delish!!
