Kue gapit is an Indonesian
kue kering (dry snack) which originates from
Cirebon,
West Java. Generally made from
tapioca flour, its name comes from the cooking process, in which it is grilled between iron molds. The snack comes in a variety of shapes and flavors. Though it is a popular souvenir among visitors to Cirebon, residents of the region rarely eat it.
