A bear claw is a type of pastry similar in texture to a Danish, commonly found in North America. Shaped like a bear’s claw, it typically has a filling of almonds, almond paste or apples, and is sometimes sprinkled with raisins or other dried fruits.

Bear claw
A bear claw is a sweet breakfast food, chiefly popular in the United States during the mid-1920s. It is an almond -flavored, yeast-raised pastry shaped in a large, irregular semicircle with slices around the outside, evoking the shape of a bear's claw. Bear claws often contain almond paste or raisins. Other fillings include butter pecan, dates, cream cheese, grape, cherry and apple—although this is often referred to as an apple fritter. Bear claws are also offered by doughnut shops as paw shaped doughnuts with apple pie–style filling, but the common interpretation of the bear claw is as a pastry rather than a doughnut. Bear claws are mentioned in the U.S. Regional Dialect Survey Results, Question #87, "Do you use the term 'bear claw' for a kind of pastry"? Bear claws are one of the doughnuts mentioned in the song Albuquerque by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
