Ingredients
- 2 heets puff pastry regular or gluten free
- ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- powdered sugar to garnish
- 8 skewers
- 8 Rolo candies optional
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Unroll both sheets of puff pastry. Place one down on parchment paper. Combine cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
- Brush half of the melted butter on one side of the puff pastry dough.
- Then, sprinkle on the cinnamon and sugar.
- Gently place the second sheet of puff pastry on top.
- Use a pizza roller cuter to slice into long 1 inch wide strips.
- Then, use your hands to roll up the dough accordion style. See photos above for reference.
- Put a wooden skewer through each tree. Then place on baking sheet.
- Brush the remaining melted butter on each Christmas tree.
- Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Remove pan from freezer. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until puffy and just barely golden brown.
- Finally, remove from oven. Lightly dust with powdered sugar if desired.
- Optional: place a Rolo candy at the base of each skewer so that the trees stand up.
Notes
- For ease, use room temperature puff pastry. It is much more pliable and easy to work with. Cold puff pastry can easily rip or tear.
- Follow the step by step photos in the blog post for reference.
- Do not slice strips smaller than 1 inch wide.
- Bake until puffy and lightly golden brown.
- For the standing trees, use a Rolo candy at the base of each skewer. You may want to trim the skewers so they are shorter.
- These are best eaten within 24 hours of making.
