Preheat oven to 375°F. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse almonds and sugar until finely ground. Add butter, egg, vanilla, and salt. Pulse to combine.
Place brioche slices on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Spread 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce over each slice, then divide frangipane between slices, spreading to cover. Fan pear slices over frangipane.
