- Medium Bowl

Ingredients
- Pie Dough
- 1 Egg
- 4 Tbsp Butter melted
- 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Make a pie dough and roll it out with a rolling pin to 1/8-inch thick.
- Use a pastry cutter to then cut the pastry dough into rectangles 3 inches by 4 inches.
- Melt 4 Tbsp butter in a microwave safe medium bowl.
- To the melted butter, add 1 cup brown sugar and 1 Tbsp cinnamon, then mix well.
- Measure and then add 1 tsp brown sugar mixture to the tops of half of the pastry pieces, spreading the mixture out.
- Make sure to keep the mixture 1/2-inch away from the edge of the dough.
- Then pick up one plain piece of pastry dough and place it on the tops of each brown sugar topped pastry dough.
- Use your fingers to pinch the two edges together well, doing so will help the filling stay inside.
- Pick up each pop-tart and place on a baking stone.
- Crack an egg in a small bowl, use a fork and whisk it well, then use a pastry brush and brush the tops of each pop-tart with the egg.
- Sprinkle the tops of the pop-tarts with 1 tsp of the brown sugar mixture and then spread it out with your fingertips.
- Using a knife, cut two-to-three holes in the top of the pop-tarts, these holes act as vents so the pastry dough does not puff up like a balloon.
- Place the baking stone into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pie dough is fully baked.
- Finally, remove the brown sugar pop-tarts from the oven and let rest to completely cooled before serving.
