Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse 1 cup walnuts and 1/4 cup brown sugar until finely ground, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Roll out 1 sheet puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Spread the walnut mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
Step 4
Cut the pastry into 4 triangles. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip, then curve into a crescent shape. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Beat 1 egg with 1 tbsp water. Brush the egg wash over each croissant. Sprinkle with extra chopped walnuts if desired.
Step 6
Bake until golden brown and puffed, 18-20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then dust with 1 tbsp powdered sugar.
