Ingredients

Scale

1 package (17.3 oz) puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
1 cup canned pumpkin puree (100% pure)
1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick.
In a bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Cut the pastry into rectangles measuring approximately 4×6 inches. Place about one tablespoon of filling in the center of half the rectangles.
Brush the edges with egg wash, place another rectangle on top, and seal by pressing down gently and crimping the edges with a fork.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
While baking, whisk together powdered sugar and maple syrup to create the glaze.
Allow poptarts to cool slightly before drizzling with warm maple glaze.
