Ingredients

For the Pop Tarts

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 pears chopped
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger or dried ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 9 inch pie crusts
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter melted

For the Frosting

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 tablespoon almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3-4 pieces crystalized ginger chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Melt the coconut oil in a medium-size saucepan. Add the pear, water, ginger, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer and cook until pear has softened and sauce has formed. Turn off the heat a set aside.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Spread a little flour onto your counter and add one of the pie crusts. Cut into 4 rectangles. (Mine were about 3" x 4"). Arrange 4 rectangles onto a baking sheet. Top each sheet with 2 tablespoons of the pear filling. Brush edges of the crust with the vegan butter and then lay the top crust over. Use a fork to seal the filling inside.
  • Repeat with the second pie crust. Roll out the scraps and you should be able to shape enough dough to make 2 more pop tarts.
  • When pop tarts are assembled, poke holes in the top with a fork to allow steam to escape. Brush the tops with the rest of the vegan butter.
  • Place in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
  • Bake pop tarts for 22-24 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
  • When the pop tarts are completely cool, make the frosting by stirring together the powdered sugar, almond milk, cinnamon, and vanilla with a whisk. Divide evenly between the pop tarts. Sprinkle ginger over top. Allow frosting to set, about 1 hour.
