If this is fall, I can live with it … possibly forever.
We have had the nicest stretch of weather since I can literally remember over the past few weeks. Seriously, it is so, so nice out. Bright blue cloudless skies with that warm fall sunshine. Sundresses and sandals. Flowers and leafy green trees. Temperatures in the 70s.
Mother Nature has really outdone herself. Now we just need to keep this up until next summer.
While old Mother Nature and I work that out, I’m stocking my kitchen and pantry with an odd mix of summer and fall foods. I’ll still pick peaches every day over apples, but I’m fully stocked on both Caramel Apple and Pumpkin Spice Oreos, as well as Key Lime Pie Oreos. My taste buds are confused, but I’m okay with it.
I’m also pretty okay with this Giant Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tart. It’s a nice way to ease into fall. It’s not full of apples and pumpkin, but it has that warm, spiced fall feeling going on.
I used some leftover pie crust to make this. You can do that, make a fresh batch or make an even bigger Pop Tart, or even buy pre made crust. The filling is easy to whip up, as is the frosting. So breakfast, or lunch, or dinner, or dessert – I’m not judging – will be ready in no time!
Giant Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tart #SundaySupper
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 1 giant pop tart 1x
Ingredients
- Pie crust – leftover, fresh, or store bought
- ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Roll out your chilled pie crust to a roughly 8 by 6 inch rectangle. You can definitely make a bigger Pop Tart as well – just increase the filling and glaze amounts accordingly.
- Stir together the cornstarch, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and dark brown sugar until combined. Place evenly on one half of the crust rectangle, leaving a little boarder.
- Fold the empty dough over and very firmly seal the edges with a fork. Bake immediately for about 20 minutes until golden brown or refrigerate for up to 2 days and bake when you’re ready.
- Allow the Pop Tart to cool and then make the glaze. Stir together confectioners’ sugar, cinnamon, and water, adding more sugar or water as necessary until you achieve a thick, yet spreadable glaze. Pour glaze over the Pop Tart and enjoy.
- Pop Tart may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen, wrapped in parchment and foil and placed in a zipper bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature about 2 hours or a 350 degrees F oven for about 20 minutes.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes

This trumps the boxed version x a million!!! YUM!
P.S. I LOVE your navy dress in the previous post 🙂
Thanks, Liz!
Giant yes, but looks way too good to share!
I’ve never even thought to make my own pop tart never mind this deliciousness. My kids would devour these! Thanks for a new recipe to try with them.
I hope you have fun making these with your kids, Tammi!
This looks perfect! Brown sugar cinnamon was always my favorite flavor growing up.
Mine too – thanks, Tara!
How awesome does this look? YUM!
Heck. Yes!
This poptart is calling my name!
These poptarts are fabulous! I don’t care what season we are in….this is a winning recipe!
I know the weather has been gorgeous here too! 70s and sunny which is perfect. I love that this is one serving.
We’ve been enjoying that same stretch of gorgeous weather in Toronto. I wish it would last forever too! Love your pop tart – what a fun treat.
I’m always up for a cinnamon treat!
Oh my! I think this might make a (scaled down) appearance in Home Ec!
Sounds like fun!
Love homemade pop tarts. I have made them with strawberry preserves before.
Strawberry sounds so good!
Oh man!! This look fantastic!! perfectly fall!
Thanks, Krayl!
Who wants a boxed version when you can make on of these! YUM!
As if the brown sugar cinnamon Poptarts couldn’t get any better!!! Pumpkin and homemade?! Sign me up for one!
I wanted to make this recipe for such a long time and after following the recipe to a T, I was very disappointed with the result 🙁 Maybe the oven was too hot or the cooking time was too long, but the crust was dark brown, very crumbly and messy and unlike any soft light pop tart crust, and the filling was tough and not sugary or crunchy. 🙁 Oh well, at least I tried right?
I’m so sorry to hear about your trouble, Ava! It definitely sounds like your oven runs hot. You can buy an oven thermometer to check. It is also important to chill the dough before rolling it. Also, if you used store bought dough that could be the problem. I always make my own dough and that is far superior to store bought. I hope this helps!!
