Introduction
We like the king cake a lot at home. Usually colleagues and children’s classes also benefit.
Each year I make different ones and this year I really wanted it to be fruity. So I opted for a garnish made with very vanilla steamed applesauce.

Super simple, the garnish is less fatty than the traditional frangipane and above all very tasty. Here is my king cake.
The extra thing:
- Add a touch of salted butter caramel
