Cook time: 40 minutes

Servings: 8

Ingredients

• 1 cup soft butter
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup powder sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2.5 cups flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.67 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 1 cup powder sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp milk

Instructions

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350F.
2. In a large bowl combine your butter, brown sugar and powder sugar. You can mix by hand but if you have a stand, or power mixer it will be easier. Mix until butter and sugar are creamed together.
3. Add in your egg and vanilla and mix again.
4. Add in your flour and cinnamon and mix until a dough forms. It may seem dry at first but keep mixing! Split your dough in half and add 1/2 to a lined 8x8 baking dish. Press dough until it is flat. Take the other 1/2 of the dough and press it into an 8x8 square on a piece of parchment paper.
5. Make your pumpkin spice filling by mixing all ingredients in a small bowl. Add to your 8x8 baking dish then top with the other half of your dough.
6. Bake in the oven on 350F for 40 minutes.
7. Allow your poptart to cool for 15 minutes before icing them!
8. Prepare the icing by mixing powder sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and milk. Spread the icing over the cooled poptart bars.
9. Enjoy your homemade pumpkin spice poptart bars!
