Apple Pop Tarts are so easy to make and way better than the store bought variety!
Quick vegan pie dough for perfect flaky pastry pockets stuffed with apple filling!
I always make my own apple filling since it is so simple and I can control the amount of sugar I am using in the recipe
You can also keep this recipe sugar free too by leaving out the sugar altogether or using your favorite sugar substitute!

If you are not a big fan of apples, you can use any fruit filling that you like!
I love making blueberry pop tarts too!
If you have never made your own pie dough before
The recipe below makes 10 tarts but you can double everything and get the excess into the freezer for fresh baked Pop Tarts in an instant!

Cook Time
20 minutes
Total Time
2 hours 20 minutes
Ingredients
For the sugar glaze:
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 1-2 Tbs plant milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract *optional
Instructions
- Prepare the vegan pie dough recipe & the apple filling recipes according to the instructions on those pages with video tutorials
- Re work the dough with a sprinkle of extra flour to get it to a pliable consistency and then roll the dough to less than ¼" thick and approximately 16" x 16"
- Cut out rectangles to the desired size you want your pop tarts to be (I did 3½" X4¾" rectangles for a total of 20 pieces that when sandwiched with the filling made 10 total pop tarts)
- You can re-roll the dough several times to utilize all the pieces.
- Fill each rectangle of dough fill with 2 tablespoons of apple filling.
- Cover with another rectangle of dough and with a fork crimp the edges to seal.
- On a parchment lined sheet pan spaced 1" apart, brush each pop tart with aquafaba and bake in a preheated 375°f oven for 18-22 minutes or until golden browned
- Cool then glaze with sugar glaze by combining the confectioner sugar and plant milk together to desired consistency. Adjust with more plant milk or in the case that it is too thin add more confectioners sugar
Notes
Apple pop tarts can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days in a cool dry place, wrapped well
Reheat UN iced pop tarts in the toaster, but for ICED pop tarts you should use a flat toaster oven or a microwave
Pop tarts BAKED & UN BAKED can be frozen for up to 2 months wrapped well, it is recommended not to freeze with the icing since it will melt when it is thawed
OMG!! my sweet tooth is on overload. These desserts look amazing. Will definitely be trying them soon.
hi there
what do we need to sub to make them into vegan savoury pop tarts
depends what you want to put inside? vegan Cheese? Field Roast sausage? Yumm, sounds like a good idea!
can you please tell me if i can use NUTTELEX OR COLD OIL in this recepie?instead of butter . earth balance is not available in australia.
It needs to be a solid fat, I am not familiar with Nuttelex, but I think that is one that I have heard people is AUS using. You can also use cold coconut oil
Can I use vegetable shortening to replace the vegan butter? Do I need to adjust the amount?
yes straight 1:1 sub
