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.
