It’s September, which means I can get out my pumpkins, right? It’s time to start cooking with all my favorite fall flavors. Pumpkin, Sweet Potato, Cinnamon, nutmeg…..I LOVE IT ALL. I will start sharing some great FALL recipes in the next few months as we head into fall. Let’s start today with HOMEMADE Brown Sugar Cinnamon Poptarts. Last year I made Pumpkin Pop Tarts which were amazing! You can see that recipe her. Brown Sugar Cinnamon is my favorite flavor of poptart you can buy in the store, so I knew I wanted to try to recreate these at home.
Eden really wanted to cook in the kitchen with me and these were super fun to have her ‘help’ me. She loved rolling out the dough and mixing all the ingredients.
