Apple Sauce Bûche de Noël
I had so much fun making this Bûche de Noël! Although it may seem a bit long, this is really one of the quickest you will find.
I took my Friend Marion’s Apple Entremet recipe (@novice_en_cuisine) and made it into a Bûche. Of course, you will find Marion’s recipe right HERE!
Enjoy & Bon Appétit! Happy Holidays everyone!
As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.
