Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples start to soften.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water, then add to the apple mixture. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until thickened. Let cool.
Unroll the pie crusts and cut each into 6 rectangles (12 total).
Spoon a tablespoon of the cooled apple filling onto 6 rectangles, leaving a border.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush edges of the rectangles with egg wash.
Top each filled rectangle with another crust piece. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal.
Place pop tarts on the prepared baking sheet and prick the tops with a fork to let steam escape.
Bake for 20–22 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.
In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, cinnamon, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled pop tarts.

Notes

You can use any type of baking apple like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji.
Let the pop tarts cool before adding glaze to prevent it from melting off.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
