A fun and delicious Christmas treat shaped like Christmas Trees. Flaky Puff Pastry Christmas Trees with cinnamon sugar filling. They’re crunchy, and flavorful and are perfect for the Holidays!
Ingredients
2 sheets puff pastry dough, thawed
2 tablespoon butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
For the brush:
¼ cup butter, melted
Powdered sugar, optional for sprinkle
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
In the microwave or a saucepan melt the ¼ butter and set aside
Unroll a sheet of puff pastry onto parchment paper or a lightly floured surface.
Spread the 2 tablespoons of butter evenly over the pastry sheet and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over top.
Carefully place the second sheet of puff pastry over top.
Smooth it down with a rolling pin.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the pastry into 1-inch wide strips.
Pick up a strip, and carefully fold it up, accordion style, into the shape of a Christmas tree.
Thread a wooden skewer from the base of the tree, through all the layers, and out the top. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pastry strips.
Brush the trees, including the sides of the tree, with melted butter.
Bake them in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until puffy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the trees if desired
