1 teaspoon vanilla
2 sheets pie dough use gluten free if needed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F. In a bowl mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
Next roll out both of the pie dough sheets on a lightly floured surface to about 8 x 16 inches. Transfer one of the pieces of dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the piece of dough, leaving about an inch of space around the edges. Lay the other piece of dough over top of the filling. Use the back of a fork to crimp the edges to “seal” the pop tart.
Use a fork to poke a few holes into the top of the pop tart. This gives air a place to escape in the oven. Brush the top of the pop tart with an egg wash or melted butter, if using, and bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown on top. Let cool before icing.
Once cooled, add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and cinnamon, to a bowl and mix well until smooth and thick. Then gradually mix in little splashes of the milk until you reach your desired consistency. You want the icing to be on the thicker side but runny enough to spread.
Spread the icing over top of the pop tart. Let the icing set for a few minutes and then slice into pieces with a sharp knife and enjoy!

Notes

Storing: Leftover pop tarts will keep for up to 4 days out on the counter or a week in the fridge. You can also store an unsliced or partially sliced pop tart on a baking tray wrapped in plastic wrap. It should keep for up to 4 days.
