Hello Cozy Autumn - Facing Changes & Fear At The Start of New Season | Autumn in English Countryside

Welcoming cozy Autumn in the English countryside. Alas, together with autumn comes its friend - seasonal depression. I have been hit with the end of summer lethargy/ start of autumn sadness for quite a long period of time now, and only recently started getting out of this deep rut. I am afraid of change. But change is inevitable. NEW PRINTS ON SALE: Only 4 of each print in stock as a part of sample sale.

Add eggs one by one, then vanilla and mix well. Then add flour and baking powder through a sieve (sieving it will help to make a fluffy, moist cake). Gradually pour in milk - the batter will be quite sticky and glutinous, but it should be easy to mix. You don’t want it to be runny or too hard. Cinnamon Swirl: 65g brown sugar 50g melted butter 2 tsp cinnamon 2 tbsp maple syrup Mix all ingredients well together. Apple filling: 4 medium apples 2 tsp cinnamon Peel and remove cores from 4 apples, chop into fine cubes. Place in a bowl with 2 tsp of cinnamon and mix well. Preheat the oven to 160C/ 320F Grease a loaf tin or line with non stick baking paper. Place half of your batter to the bottom of a tin. Add half of cinnamon butter mix and lightly swirl. Place half of your apples on top. Then repeat again with the remaining batter, then place the remaining apples and then top it with cinnamon butter mix. Swirl with a knife or spoon incorporating the toppings into the cake butter lightly. Bake for 50-60 minutes at 160C/ 320F, checking that the top does’t burn. Check by inserting a toothpick - if it comes out clean, then the cake is ready. The cake will look a bit dark on top if you’re using brown sugar. That’s ok and it shouldn’t burn if you’re not baking it on high heat. Enjoy warm. :) ________ Join me on Patreon for more exclusive updates: Buy me a coffee: Music: Epidemic Sound Get 7 days free of Epidemic Sound here Find me on Instagram: Filmed on: Panasonic GH6 Edited with: Premiere Pro CC key words: #fallvibes #autumndays #painting #englishcountryside #illustration #cozyday #hellooctober #welcomingautumn #helloautumn #slowlivinginautumn #seasonaldepression #applecinnamon apple cinnamon swirl loaf, cinnamon swirl loaf, seasonal baking, dealing with seasonal depression, autumn vibes, autumn days, autumn baking, gouache painting time stamps: 00:00 - 02:25 Welcoming Autumn 02:26 - 06:30 Facing Change & New Prints 06:32 - 07:29 Autumn Vibes 07:30 - 13:42 Talking (WIND WARNING) 13:43 - 19:27 Apple Cinnamon Loaf Recipe
