Oranais (pastry)

The oranais is a type of French viennoiserie made with apricots. The pastry has roots in French Algeria, and is named after the city of Oran, Algeria.

The pastry is often shaped like an oval or a rectangle with folded corners, designed to resemble a pair of eyeglasses, leading to its alternative name, apricot glasses. In France, the pastry is also known as abricotine or apricot croissant.
