Getting a $rootScope:inprog error, but it requires scope.$apply to work

Is there a way of applying scope in the snippet below without it throwing an error? (and without hacks and workaround like try/catch, $timeout or hard-coding BONJOUR)

Without SCOPE.$apply(), the alert shows {{HELLO}} instead of BONJOUR.

var app = angular.module('APP', [])
  .controller('CTRL', function($scope, $compile) {

    $scope.showBonjour = function() {
      var SCOPE, CONTENT;

      SCOPE = $scope.$root.$new();
      SCOPE.HELLO = 'BONJOUR';

      CONTENT = $compile('<div>{{HELLO}}</div>')(SCOPE);

      SCOPE.$apply(); // This generates the $rootScope:inprog error, but I cannot omit it…

      window.alert(CONTENT.html());
    }

  });
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.13/angular.min.js"></script>

<html ng-controller="CTRL" ng-app="APP">
    <button ng-click="showBonjour()">Show BONJOUR</button>
</html>

Using $timeout isn't a hack. It's used quite often in Angular to wait until the current digest cycle is completed, then do something.

Here's a working Plunker:

  var app = angular.module('APP', [])
    .controller('CTRL', function($scope, $compile, $timeout) {

      $scope.showBonjour = function() {
        var SCOPE, CONTENT;

        SCOPE = $scope.$root.$new();
        SCOPE.HELLO = 'BONJOUR';

        CONTENT = $compile('<div>{{HELLO}}</div>')(SCOPE);

        $timeout(function() {
          window.alert(CONTENT.html());
        })
    }

  });
