Fresh fruit adds natural sweetness and flavor.

Combine flour and butter in a bowl until crumbly.

Add 1 tablespoon of cold water to the mixture and crumble together with hands until incorporated.

Divide the dough into two equal parts.

Shape the dough into small balls for easier handling.

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of butter and bring to a light simmer.

Once the butter is dissolved, add flour quickly and stir until it forms a ball.

Cool the mixture slightly before adding eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the mixture and stir to combine.

Spread the dough onto a baking sheet, leaving space in the middle for expansion during baking.

Bake for 60 minutes, checking towards the end to ensure it looks dry.

Prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar with a little butter and almond extract until desired consistency is reached.

Drizzle the icing over the baked kringle and top with sliced almonds.
