How to Make Gluten-Free Pop Tarts
The flaky gluten-free dough for these pop tarts relies on a combination of gluten-free flours for a balance of structure and tenderness: almond flour, brown rice flour, sorghum flour, and arrowroot starch. Sea salt and cinnamon add flavor to the dough. You can make the dough in a bowl using a pastry cutter or fork, but our preferred method uses a food processor. Not only is it easier, but it quickly breaks up the vegan butter while keeping it cold, which maximizes flakiness! Next we add apple butter and maple syrup to the dough, which provides moisture and natural sweetness. Then we roll out the dough and cut it into cute little squares. Starting to look like pop tarts, right!? A dollop of apple butter goes between two squares of dough, and then we crimp and seal the edges with a fork. A final “x” on the top allows steam to escape during baking and prevents cracking. Pop them in the oven and get ready because gluten-free pop tarts are really happening, friends! We hope you LOVE these apple butter pop tarts! They’re:FlakyButteryPerfectly sweetSubtly spicedPerfect for fall& SO nostalgic!
