Method;

1.       Pre heat your oven to 180°c

2.       Line your baking tray with baking paper

3.       Bake your croissants according to the instructions.  I used the frozen Pret croissants.  If your croissants are already baked, then just move on to making the filling

4.       While your croissants cool, make your filling

5.       In a mixing bowl add together all the frangipane filling ingredients and mix together to make a smooth paste

6.       Carefully cut open your croissants and spread the cherry jam on to one side of the croissant

7.       Spoon half the frangipane mixture onto the other side of the croissant

8.       Sprinkle the cherry pieces and flaked almonds over the top to decorate

9.       Bake for another 10 minutes until the croissants are nicely golden and the flaked almonds have toasted

11.   Eat and enjoy while they are warm!
