These festive pop tarts combine the cozy flavors of figgy pudding with the handheld convenience of a classic toaster pastry, perfect for holiday baking with a fun twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dried figs, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Zest of one orange
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 sheets store-bought pie crust or puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine chopped figs, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange zest, and melted butter. Stir until evenly mixed and set aside.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into rectangles, roughly 3×5 inches—you’ll need an even number for tops and bottoms.
  3. Assemble the Pop Tarts: Place half of the rectangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the center of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Seal the Edges: Place another rectangle over each filled piece. Press the edges together gently with your fingers, then use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative seal.
  5. Brush with Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it lightly over the tops of the pop tarts. This gives them a beautiful golden-brown finish.
  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pop tarts for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let them cool on a wire rack.
  7. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Adjust the consistency as needed—it should be thick but pourable.
  8. Decorate: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pop tarts. Add sprinkles or crushed nuts for extra flair!

Notes

Keep the dough cold to prevent it from becoming too soft. Avoid overfilling the pop tarts to prevent bursting. Customize the glaze with cinnamon or orange juice for extra flavor.
