Apple cinnamon brioche – a soft, sweet brioche bread braid filled with juicy cinnamon apples. Post sponsored by VonShef.
The apple tree in my garden has yielded a decent crop this year. The apples are a little too sharp to eat as they are however so I need to do lots of baking to use them up. I haven’t decided exactly what to make with them all, but I started by baking this apple cinnamon brioche which used up four of them and was very tasty too….
I think that brioche has got to be just about my favourite thing to come out of France…I’m not talking about the mass-produced stuff that you get in supermarkets that has the texture (and flavour…) of cotton wool; I’m talking about proper brioche, heavily enriched with butter and eggs and yet seemingly impossibly light….
I lost all form of self-restraint when I baked this ( not that I had much to start with). I was incapable of going into the kitchen without gobbling down a slice it was so incredibly moreish. I got through nearly half of the loaf by myself in a day, and it is not a small loaf… I justified this gluttony by telling myself that the apples counteract the butter…right?!…
