Traditional French galette des rois with two layers of puff pastry filled with applesauce compote to change from the classic almond cream frangipane feeling.
Also called epiphany cake. The typical French galette des rois made with a mix of puff pastry and almond cream filling called frangipane is here flavored with dark chocolate, actuallly cocoa powder. Very tasty.
