Sep 01, 2016, Updated Oct 14, 2024 I’m gonna say welcome, September! But my brain is legit still in June. If there’s anything that can soften the blow of August coming to an end, it’s a friend with a backyard apple tree bringing you a giant bag of her harvest (thanks, Jenny!). Vancouver has let us know this week (with heavy clouds and rain) that fall is definitely happening, so I’m embracing it with a bottomless teapot, wool socks and this cinnamon-scented, apple-laden cake. I piled all the apples on top and dotted them with butter and brown sugar. They soften into a sticky, caramelized apple pie-like topping, sinking into the tender batter as it rises. And isn’t it pretty? #septemberwin Also, I have to admit that I was wrong about something. Instagram stories. They appeared in my life at a moment when I was feeling a bit of social media burnout, and I was crotchety. Super crotchety. I’m sorry about that. But since then, they’ve completely wiggled their way into my heart. I love seeing glimpses into the lives of people I’ve followed for years, I’m OBSESSED with the behind-the-scenes photoshoot vids, and I love seeing where people live and what my internet friends see in their backyards and everyday adventures. It makes me feel like I know people better. I showed you behind-the-scenes writing of this blog post in my office in my story today, and shared the chrome extension that saved my eyeballs. Maybe you care, maybe you don’t. But Instagram stories are fun! Other Favorite Apple Treats
