Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 teaspoons milk
  • Sprinkles optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt together. Add cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Slowly add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to come together. Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into rectangles (about 3x4 inches). Repeat with the second disk.
  4. Mix applesauce and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  5. Place half of the dough rectangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of applesauce mixture onto each.
  6. Brush edges with egg wash, then top with remaining dough rectangles. Press edges with a fork to seal.
  7. Chill the assembled pop-tarts in the fridge for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
  9. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled pop-tarts and add sprinkles if desired.
