i LOVE your blog, do you have insta by any chance? 🥹🌈

Unfortunately not :( I try to post as often as I can here though :) I’m struggling with mental health issues at the moment and am fixing to move in a month so that’s why I haven’t been posting as often as I used too

Apple cider cake with cinnamon brown sugar frosting recipe !!!

Ingredients

280 grams (2 ¼ cups, 9.9 oz) all-purpose flour

30 grams (1/4 cup, 1.05 oz) cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

500 ml (2 cups) apple cider we will use 250 ml (1 cup) reduced and cooled

200 grams (1 cup, 7.05 oz) light brown sugar packed

120 ml (1/2 cup, 4.05 fl oz) oil

3 large eggs room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

120 grams (1/2 cup, 4.2 oz) applesauce

Frosting

35 grams (1.18 oz) all-purpose flour

200 grams (1 cup, 7.05 oz) light brown sugar

pinch of salt

240 ml (1 cup) milk

230 grams (1 cup) unsalted butter room temperature

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

For the frosting: combine flour, sugar and salt in a small saucepan, whisk together. Add milk and whisk to combine. Place over low heat, and allow the mixture to come to a boil, whisking constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until thicken. Remove from heat and pour into a small bowl, cover with plastic foil, but make sure foil is touching the pudding to avoid making a skin on top of it. Put it in the refrigerator to speed cooling but keep in mind that pudding needs to be room temperature because later we wil mix in a softened butter.

Reduce the cider: Add 2 cups of apple cider to a medium saucepan, bring to a boil and cook on medium low heat until reduced to 1 cup. Set aside to cool.

While cider is cooling, preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F), grease and flour 33x23 cm (13x9 inch) baking pan or line the bottom with baking paper.

Make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg until well combined. Set aside. In a another bowl add eggs, oil, brown sugar, vanilla, reduced apple cider and applesauce and using an electric mixerbeat until well combined. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon fold in dry ingrediens until combined. Do not overmix!

Pour the batter into prepared pan and bake 15-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Make the frosting: Once the pudding has cooled, beat the butter bowl until smooth and fluffy and lightened in color, around 5 minutes. Add the cooled pudding (which will look like glue at this point) one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once all the pudding has been added, mix for another few minutes, until the buttercream looks thick, smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla and cinnamon and mix briefly to combine. Using arubber spatula stir vigorously for about a minute to get rid of any large air bubbles.

Spread the buttercream over cooled cake and decorate by your liking

Peanut butter stuffed chocolate jack-o'-lantern cookie recipe !!

Ingredients

1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, at room temperature

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 egg, at room temperature

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons dark chocolate cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

12 ounces milk chocolate, melted

Peanut Butter Filling

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

4 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the egg and mix until evenly combined. Add the flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, beat until combined and the dough forms a ball. If your dough feels too wet to roll out, add the additional 2 tablespoons cocoa powder.

2. Generously flour your work surface. Divide the dough in half and flatten each half into a disk. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Make sure you're using enough flour or your dough will stick. Cut out the cookies using a pumpkin cookie cutter or pumpkin cookie stamp. Carefully transfer the cookies to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover the baking sheet and place the sheet in the freezer, freeze until firm, about 10 minutes. Roll out the leftover scraps, and repeat with the remaining disk of dough.

3. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet five minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

4. To make the filling. Add the peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat until light and fluffy.

5. Dip half of the cookies, stem side down, into melted chocolate to coat about 1/3 of the top (see photos). Decorate as desired with additional melted chocolate. Sprinkle with sea salt. Chill the cookies in the freezer for 10 minutes. Spread the peanut butter filling over the cookie halves with no chocolate. Place the top cookie, chocolate side up over the peanut butter, gently pressing to adhere. Cookies can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days

The fall things I crave

Bonfires with s'mores

Windy days with those crispy and beautiful leaves falling from the trees in a wonderful array of colors

Being surrounded by pumpkins in the pumpkin patch

Sweaters ,scarves,boots and leggings !!

Hot cocoa and apple cider

Preparing and decorating my room for Halloween

Fall scented waxes in my wax warmer

The tremendous fall and Halloween decor in stores

Big warm quilts when it starts getting chilly outside

Spooky stories

Older Halloween movies on Disney plus

🧡🍁New England apple cider cake recipe🍁🧡

INGREDIENTS

For the Cake

1 cup apple cider

2 cups Granny Smith apples (3 large or 4 small apples)

1 whole lemon

¼ cup softened butter (4 tablespoons or half a stick)

1 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

2 cups flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup heavy cream

Enough vegetable shortening to grease a 9×9-inch baking pan

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Glaze

1 cup apple cider

1 cup confectioners’ sugar

1–2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Vanilla Ice Cream, optional for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the first cup of apple cider on the stove and bring to a boil and boil until reduced to ¼ cup. Set aside to cool.

Core and peel the apples and then cut each into 16 slices (fewer slices if using smaller apples). Have a bowl of water that has a whole lemon squeezed into it. Place apples into water and then onto a plate to dry and set aside. This will keep them from turning brown.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until well mixed.

With the mixer running, add one egg at a time beating until smooth. Scrap sides and beat until light and fluffy, about three minutes.

In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Measure out cream and add cooled reduced cider to cream.

With the mixer on low, alternate adding the flour mixture and the cream/cider mixture until well combined. Scrape sides and mix until smooth.

Grease a 9X9 square pan liberally with vegetable shortening and pour in the batter.

Arrange the apples, outer edges up into the top of the batter.

In a small bowl or cup, mix the sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of the cake and place in the oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, make the glaze.

Place the second cup of apple cider on the stove as before only reduce down to two tablespoons. Watch it that it doesn’t evaporate too far.

Place the confectioners’ sugar in a small bowl and add the reduced cider along with one tablespoon of milk or cream and stir. Add the last tablespoon of milk or cream a little at a time until desired consistency. It should be thick but runny enough to drizzle off the end of a spoon.

When the cake comes out of the oven, cool to room temperature and cut into nine squares.

Drizzle the glaze over each portion letting it run down the sides and serve.

Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired

Apple crumb muffins recipe !!

ingredients

Muffins

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 cup full fat plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups chopped, peeled apples

Crumb Topping

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon cold butter, cut into cubes

instructions

The first thing you want to do is preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Grease your muffin tin and set aside

In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients: all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside

In another bowl mix together the eggs, Greek yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla

Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in the apple chunks

Fill the muffin tin cups ( I like using the jumbo muffin tins! ) about 2/3 the way full and set aside to make the topping

In a small bowl combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. I like doing it with my fingers but you can use a fork too

Sprinkle about a teaspoon or a little more over the top of the muffin mixture

Bake the muffins at 400 for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. I do the jumbo muffins so they take about 20 minutes

Let them cool slightly before serving

Enjoy !!
