Croustade aux pommes · Toulouse
Croustade aux pommes is the southwestern French apple pastry made with paper-thin filo-like dough wrapped around spiced apples. Reservations recommended in season.
The croustade is a Gascon and Lauragais pastry tradition dating to at least the 16th century, with origins in North African pastilla brought across the Pyrenees. The signature is the gossamer-thin pastry, hand-stretched until transparent. The classic filling is apples with Armagnac, though prune versions exist. The dish travelled to Toulouse from the Gers and is sold across the city's bakeries.
