Ingredients
- Crust:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons Frontier Co-op® Organic, Fairtrade Cane Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Frontier Co-op® Sea or Himalayan Pink Salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 cup cold water
- Filling:
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons Frontier Co-op® Regenerative Organic Certified® Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Regenerative Organic Certified® Ground Ginger
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Organic Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 egg yolk, for sealing
- Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Regenerative Organic Certified® Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Organic Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1-2 tablespoons whole milk or dairy-free alternative
Directions
- In a food processor, add flour, sugar, salt, and butter, and pulse a few times. Stream in water and continue to process until a crumbly mixture forms.
- Remove and gently knead dough into a ball, then divide dough in half. Loosely wrap each half in plastic or alternative wrap and shape into a rectangle about ½-inch thick. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- While dough chills, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, flour, vanilla and melted butter until well combined, and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- On a floured surface, roll each dough half into roughly a 14-x-10-inch rectangle.
- Cut dough into roughly 3.5-x-5-inch rectangles. You'll need two rectangles for each pop tart.
- Spoon a little more than 1 tablespoon of filling onto each bottom rectangle, then spread into a thin layer, leaving about 1/3 inch around the border.
- Beat egg yolk and brush around border of filling. Dock the top rectangles with a fork, then place over the filled bottom; pat down to remove gaps, and crimp edges with a fork.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Tarts should be very lightly browned when you take them out, and bottoms browned slightly. Let cool slightly before topping with glaze.
- To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and milk until smooth. Spread on top of cooled pop tarts. The glaze will set in about 1 hour.
