For the pull-aparts: Line bottoms of two 9-in cake pans with 10-in rounds of parchment paper, creasing paper so it fits up the sides. Cut four 2"x15" long strips of parchment and place along the sides of the pans (2 per pan), to protect the side of the pans. Place brioche dough on a lightly floured work surface. Roll out dough into a 7"x16" rectangle, with the long side towards you. Spread apple filling evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the apples, reserving about 1/4 cup for garnish. Roll up the dough from the far side. It will stretch as you roll, so the final length of the roll should be be about 24". When log is finished, let it rest seam side down for a few minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut roll into two 12-in logs. Cut each log into seven 1 1/2-in pieces. Arrange 6 pieces in a circle in each prepared cake pan, and place the seventh piece in the center. Mix egg with a little water to make an egg wash and brush lightly over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle the reserved cinnamon sugar over the rolls. Let pans of dough rise for about 1 1/2 hours until the rolls have risen to the top of the pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes, then unmold from pan and remove parchment pieces so they don't get stuck.
