Bake for about 30 minutes.

Stage 18

Leave to cool on a wire rack.
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.
Keeping: Several days, preferably in a cloth bag.
Source: Home made.

  • 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".

  • 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.
