Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the sliced almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for about 5 minutes, or until the almonds just begin to turn golden brown.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the toasted almonds, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Pulse until the almonds break down to medium crumbs.
- Add the butter to the food processor and continue processing until a smooth paste forms.
- Add the egg and 1 teaspoon almond extract and continue to process until the egg is fully incorporated.
- Transfer the almond mixture to a small bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 week.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small pot over medium heat, combine the water and granulated sugar. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining teaspoon of almond extract, then remove the pot from the heat.
- Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Set the bottom halves of each croissant on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush about 1 tablespoon of the almond simple syrup over the cut side of each croissant half.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of the frangipane across the bottom half of each croissant, then cover with the top half.
- Spread another tablespoon of frangipane over the top of each croissant, then sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake the croissants for 12-15 minutes, or until the frangipane begins to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then dust with the powdered sugar.
- Enjoy!
