Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Set to the side.
Next, open up (or roll out) the pie crust and use a cookie cutter (or 3 1/4 inch biscuit cutter) to cut out 24-28 circles.
Note: I cut out as many as I could from the two crusts, then rolled out the extra pieces and cut out more circles to get 28 circles, which made 14 pumpkin pop tarts.
Then use the extra dough to create 14 pie crust pumpkin stems.
Divide 14 pie crust circles onto your two baking sheets, then scoop 1/2-1 teaspoon of pumpkin mixture on top of each circle.
Place the remaining 14 pie crust circles on top of the pumpkin-topped pie crust circles.
Use a fork to crimp the edges of each pop tart.
Then add a pie crust stem to each pop tart, using your fingers to press the stem and pop tart dough together.
Brush some egg wash on top of each pumpkin pop tart.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown, and then let cool.
While the pumpkin pop tarts are cooling, whisk together the 1 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2-3 tablespoons milk, and orange food coloring (add a little bit at a time to get the shade of orange you like). For a thinner icing, add more milk; for a thicker icing, add more powdered sugar.
Spread the orange icing on each pop tart and sprinkle both types of orange sprinkles on top.
Enjoy!
