Aparon

Not yet rated — this could be your moment.

Aparon (from apa, “wafer" and chicharrón, "crackling") is a Filipino dessert made from toasted unconsecrated hostia (communion wafers) drizzled with caramelized sugar and, optionally, sesame seeds.
It was invented in 1972 by Socorro Vistan Malonzo who learned to bake communion wafers from the Augustinian Sisters of Our Lady of Consolation of the Colegio de Nuestra Señora del Carmen (now La Consolacion University) in Malolos, Bulacan. Her business supplied communion wafers to nearby churches in the province and neighbouring Pampanga as a means of livelihood. She invented the dessert in an effort to make better use of the full communion wafer sheet, instead of having the trimmings disposed of as fish and animal feed.
