Cube the cold butter into 1/4″- 1/2″ cubes and put back in the fridge to firm up for a few minutes.So, let your inner-child out to play with a long, adventurous bike ride and a batch of Maple Glazed Apple Cinnamon Pop Tarts. Quality ingredients, good old fashioned techniques and the combined love of biking and baked goods are what make these Maple Glazed Apple Cinnamon Pop Tarts so special. These Maple Glazed Apple Cinnamon Pop Tarts are made with locally grown farmer’s market apples and transported home with love and care in my handy dandy, vintage-inspired PUBLIC Wooden Bicycle Crate and strapped in tight with these colorful Two Strip Bungee Straps. There is no better Fall fruit than apples, and seeing them stacked high at the market inspired me to recreate another childhood treat, the Pop Tart. To capture the spirit of the season, I rode my bike to my local farmer’s market and loaded up on seasonal goods. This time of year, between the crisp weather and the saffron-colored harvest moon, those ET flashbacks are palpable. I still get a twinge of nostalgia when I cruise around on my PUBLIC V7. That vintage feeling of newfound freedom took over and I fell in love with biking again. I rode like the wind and felt myself lift off the ground, pedaling past the moon straight back to my childhood in one of those magical ET moments. It had been so long since I’d ridden a bike, but that old adage rang true as muscle memory took over and I pedaled my way through the neighborhood. Years later, well into my 20s, my husband surprised me with a sparkling electric blue vintage cruiser for my birthday. By then, I simply didn’t have the space in my life, or my apartment, for a bike. I survived high school, went on to college and had more jobs than I care to remember. Sometime during Junior High, riding a bike became the international symbol of Nerd status, and my bike was buried in the garage behind the Pogoball and the Radio Flyer. It was my first taste of independence, and boy was it sweet. Past my crush’s house (feeling mortified when he was outside playing basketball as I rolled by in excruciatingly slow motion). For the first time in my life, I was able to ride anywhere I wanted, on my own terms. My bike opened up a whole new world of adventures and excitement that I never knew existed. I stored it in the garage, hand washed it and added personal flair by precisely placing a Simpsons sticker on the headset and tricked out the wheels with color coordinated spoke beads. I loved and cared for that bike like nothing I’d owned before. I’d been pining for a multi-speed for months, and that moment when I first switched gears, I believed I could fly. PUBLIC Announcement: Today’s very special post was lovingly written for and brought to you by PUBLIC Bikes, and may even make you feel all the feels you felt way back when you first learned to ride a bike.Īround age 10, I became the proud owner of a 10 speed white Murray with a lavender and teal graphics package.


You can skip the sprinkles, but I wouldn’t recommend it.Maple Glazed Apple Cinnamon Pop Tarts by Baking The Goods for PUBLIC Bikes. Less work and more eating is always a good thing.įlaky pie crust filled with a sweet cinnamon apple mixture and drizzled with caramel icing. And you know what, it still tastes awesome. My life has been flipped upside down as of recent for many reason, so I took the quick way out and used pre-made, roll out pie dough. Being apple month though, I figured it’d be a perfect opportunity to make some amazing homemade non-cardboard apple cinnamon pop-tarts. Okay maybe I’m fibbing a smidge.īut you see… I’ve only had strawberry. And that’s from the cats! I’m not exaggerating in the slightest. It’s super rare actually because the times I do buy them, I get home and am given this evil ‘oh my God you really bought those’ kind of stare. It’s like a lot of kid cereals and other random treats. They’re sweet and delicious while being totally awful. I hear they’ve changed their pizza, I have my doubts on it’s ‘new’ and redesigned taste.Īnyway… the Pop-Tarts. Which doesn’t at all mean that I like to eat cardboard, because I don’t like Dominos pizza. I know they kind of resemble cardboard at times but I still love them. To this day, I still love strawberry Pop-Tarts. By Rachel // Septem// 304 comments // Share
