Apple Brioche – don’t add cocoa to the dough, and sprinkle with finely chopped apple and a sprinkling of cinnamon before rolling the dough.
You can also top the brioche with other spreads like chocolate spread, Biscoff spreads, apple butter, or vanilla custard.
As an alternative to dark chocolate chips, you can use caramel chips or white chocolate chips.

For added sweetness, drizzle the bread with an icing glaze before cutting.
