Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture.
Using your fingers, a pastry cutter, or a fork, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the sliced almonds and vanilla extract until evenly distributed in the crumb mixture.
Spread the almond crumb mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crumbs are golden brown and fragrant, stirring once or twice during baking to ensure even browning.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The crumbs will crisp up further as they cool.
Once completely cool, break up any large clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use.
