- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking pan with parchment or spray with non-stick spray.
- Chop apple pie filling into smaller pieces. Stir in apple pie spice.
- Roll out one pie crust on parchment or floured surface. Cut into 8 rectangles. Reroll scraps if needed.
- Spoon 2 tbsp filling onto 4 rectangles, leaving edges clear. Top with remaining 4 rectangles. Crimp edges with a fork. Place on baking pan. Repeat with second pie crust.
- Cut 2 slits in the top of each pop tart.
- Bake 10–14 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely.
- Melt white chocolate in microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth.

Tips for Making This Apple Pie Pop Tarts
- I used canned apple pie filling so I like to chop them into smaller pieces so it spreads more evenly and doesn’t burst out the sides while baking.
- I always keep the second pie crust in the fridge until I’m ready to use it. Cold dough is easier to work with and holds its shape better.
- Sometimes I add a pinch of cinnamon or extra apple pie spice to the white chocolate for a little extra cozy flavor.

Apple Pie Pop Tarts
Ingredients
- About 1 cup of canned apple pie filling
- ½ teaspoon apple pie spice, plus more for sprinkling on top, if desired
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts
- 2 cups white chocolate wafers or white chocolate chips, I used Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper or coat well with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Add apple pie filling to a medium bowl. Using a knife, gently slice apples to form smaller chunks. Add apple pie spice to filling and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Line a flat surface, such as counter, with a large sheet of parchment paper. Alternatively, you can sprinkle surface with flour.
- Unroll one pie crust (keep the other crust refrigerated) onto parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll crust into a thin, wide rectangle and then cut into 8 even rectangles. You may need to reroll dough to get 8 rectangles.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling onto the middle of 4 rectangles, leaving a small border around the edges for crimping. Take the remaining rectangles and place on top of the fruit covered ones. Using a fork, crimp the edges to seal. Place onto prepared baking pan.
- Repeat the process with the remaining pie crust. Once the pop tarts are on the prepared baking pan, take a knife and cut two slits onto the tops of each one.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until pop tarts are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- While pop tarts are cooling, prepare white chocolate frosting. In a small bowl, microwave white chocolate wafers (or chips) on medium power until wafers are melted and smooth, stirring ever 15 seconds so not to burn.
- Remove from microwave and spoon chocolate onto each pop tart and spread with back of spoon. Sprinkle with apple pie spice, if desired.
Notes
I used to love pop tarts as a kid and haven’t had one in so long! I used to love cherry or brown sugar cinnamon. 🙂 Homemade pop tarts would definitely blow the others away and I love the apple filling. They must smell amazing as they’re baking up!
Cherry was (and is still) my favorite pop tart flavor! 🙂 Thanks, Marcie!
