Remarks
The proportion of chestnut flour may appear small, but this is necessary: any more and the brioche will not rise properly.
It is important at step 8 to cook the apples well, otherwise, when rolled into the dough, they will give off steam during baking and create unsightly holes in the brioche.

- Sorry, it's a story of translation, I'm not good enough in English (not at all) to make the difference between caramel and butterscotch, who are all translated in french as "caramel".Posted by jh february 27th 2017 at 08:33 (n° 2)
- Why would you say that the apples are butterscotch when they're in fact just caramel? I was dissapointed when i read that there was no butterscotch involved.Posted by Natasha february 27th 2017 at 03:36 (n° 1)
