Homemade Brown Sugar & Maple Toaster Pastries

These homemade brown sugar & maple toaster pastries are flaky, buttery, and filled with that warm cinnamon sugar goodness… then topped with a smooth maple glaze that really seals the deal. Store-bought could neverrrr.

Pastry Dough:

* 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

* 1 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)

* 1 tsp salt

* 1 tsp sugar

* 1 tbsp cinnamon

* 6–8 tbsp ice water

Filling:

* ½ cup brown sugar (packed)

* 2 tsp cinnamon

* 1 tbsp flour

* 1 tbsp melted butter

Maple Glaze:

* 1 cup powdered sugar

* 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

* 1–2 tbsp heavy cream

* ¼ tsp vanilla extract

How I made them:

1. Make the dough:

Whisk dry ingredients, cut in cold butter until crumbly, then add ice water until it comes together. Chill for at least 1 hour.

2. Assemble:

Roll dough thin, cut into rectangles, add filling, seal with a fork, and poke holes on top.

3. Bake:

375°F for 17–20 minutes until lightly golden.

4. Glaze:

Mix and spread over fully cooled pastries (don’t rush this part or it’ll melt right off 👀).

Taste Notes:

Buttery, flaky layers with that cozy brown sugar cinnamon center… and the maple glaze adds a smooth, slightly caramel-like finish. It’s giving comfort food in pastry form.

Pro Tip:

Add a tiny pinch of salt to the maple glaze — it balances the sweetness and makes the flavor pop.

These are perfect for breakfast, a sweet snack, or honestly… whenever you feel like it 😭

Would you eat these warm or save them for later?
