Pecan Brown Sugar Pop Tarts

Updated at: Wed, 11 Dec 2024 09:38:02 GMT

Step 1

Begin by preparing the crust. In a large bowl whisk flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add in cold butter and toss to coat the cubes in flour.

Step 2

Using your hands, fork, or pastry cutter, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture, until the butter is about the size of small peas. **

Step 3

Add cold water a few tablespoons at a time, gently mixing after adding. The amount of water needed will vary depending on climate, flour, etc. The dough should look shaggy, but stick together when pressed with your hands.

Step 4

Transfer shaggy dough to a clean surface, and press dough into a ball. Cut in half and flatten each half into a rough rectangle shape. Wrap each piece in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (try not to over work the dough too much at this point)

Step 5

While crust chills, prepare the filling. In a food processor, pulse pecans until finely chopped. Add in brown sugar, cinnamon, flour and salt and pulse until combined.

Step 6

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Step 7

Roll out one piece of the chilled dough into a rectangle a bit larger than a 9x12 inch rectangle. Trim dough to remove rough edges, and to make it an even 9x12 inch rectangle.

Step 8

Cut dough into 9 even rectangles. Transfer to a lined baking sheet and chill for 15 minutes. Repeat rolling and cutting process with second piece of dough. (you should end up with 18 rectangles)

Step 9

Whisk egg and milk to make an egg wash.

Step 10

Remove cut dough from the fridge, and arrange 9 rectangles nicely on the lined baking sheet (if not already). Brush egg wash all over. Fill each of the 9 rectangles with a heaping 1 Tbsp of filling. Spread out filling, leaving about a 1/4 inch boarder.

Step 11

Top each of the 9 filled rectangles with a second rectangle of pastry dough.

Step 12

Seal by crimping edges with a fork.

Step 13

Brush the tops of pop tarts with more egg wash all over and prick the top a few times with a fork.

Step 14

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.

Step 15

Transfer pop tarts to a wire rack and cool completely.

Step 16

While pop tarts cool, prepare the glaze.

Step 17

In a small bowl, whisk everything for the glaze together until smooth.

Step 18

Once completely cool, glaze each pop tart with the brown butter glaze. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.

Step 19

Once glaze is set, store in an airtight container.
