Method

Step 1

Start by pre-heating the oven at 180°C (356°F).

Step 2

Grab a can of Wattie's Peaches and drain the liquid out. Transfer the peaches into a sauce pan. Then add sugar, vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon powder to the same pan and cook everything on medium to high heat.

Step 3

Use a masher to mash the peaches. After 10-15 minutes of cook time, add lemon juice and turn off the heat.

Step 4

Use baking paper to line your sheet pan and place a sheet of flaky puff pastry (I'm using a store-bought pastry to save time) on the paper. Roll out the sheet with a rolling pin.

Step 5

Use baking paper to line your sheet pan and place a sheet of flaky puff pastry (I'm using a store-bought pastry to save time) on the paper. Roll out the sheet with a rolling pin.

Step 6

Use the excess pastry removed in the step above or a new sheet of pastry, to layer on top of the bottom triangle, gently push down slightly.

Step 7

Then grab a sharp knife or pizza cutter and cut branches into both sides of the triangle.

Step 8

Gently grab the branches and twist into one or two turns, one by one and twist all branches moving from the bottom ones to the top.

Step 9

Use your choice of milk and brush the tree.

Step 10

Bake in your pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes or until slightly golden brown on the top. Sprinkle some icing sugar and cinnamon powder on top to make the tree Christmas-y!
