Pink Apple Brioches with Speculoos

Directions

1. 1In a bowl, mix the yeast with milk.
2. 2Pour the flour, salt, and yeast in food processor bowl, knead with dough hook.
3. 3When the liquid is absorbed, add softened butter cut into dices.
4. 4Continue to knead to obtain a homogeneous paste.
5. 5Cover the food processor bowl with a cloth and let rise for 1 hour.
6. 6Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
7. 7Peel the apples, cut into small cubes, heat a frying pan with butter, fry the potato chunks for 5 minutes, add sugar, and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Cool.
8. 8Punch the gas out of the dough and divide in 2 pieces. Form 9 balls of equal weight from both pieces of dough.
9. 9Cover the dough balls and let them rest for 15 minutes.
10. 10On a lightly floured surface, roll out a ball of dough into a 10 centimeter circle.
11. 11Using a knife, starting at the edge, make a 4 centimeter incision, from edge to center, on each side of the circle. This way you have 4 parts dough, but they are still connected in the middle.
