Looks like you've got a Taphrina deformans infestation - more commonly referred to as &quote;leaf curl&quote; ... time to start spraying with sulphur or copper based fungicide (boardeaux for example).

When you water the tree, don't water the leaves. Clean up fallen leaves and such and dispose of properly (i.e. a HOT compost - so they don't reinfect the plant).

Good luck
