Wonderful Times

Wonderful Times


it's the most wonderful time of the year !!

yayy!!! october is here! september felt like such a long month, but it seems october passed me by very quickly. this edition is coming at the very end of the month, as it has been a busy one.

the month of october is a lovely time, with the spirit of fall around us as the days get shorter and trees put on their autumn colors.

i hope you enjoy this edition of wonderful times, in which we cover art, fashion, baking, and more!

love and peace,
~ fawn

easy as pie: apple charlot

this super simple apple charlot recipe (courtesy of my mother) only has 3 ingredients (depending on how fancy you wanna get with your fruit), and can be made very quickly.

it tastes wonderful served fresh from the oven. side with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of apple cider.

ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup sugar, or less to your taste
  • 3 granny smith apples
  • a whole lotta cinnamon (optional)

    • you can substitute the apples with other fruits OR mix them. i like to use an apple, a peach, and a pear.

    instructions

    preheat oven to 350 °F.

    mix sugar, flour, and cinnamon together thouroughly to make the batter. dice your apples or fruits into medium chunks.
    butter a shallow glass baking dish, evenly toss your fruits in, and then pour your batter over. sprinkle cinnamon on top.

    bake for 30 minutes, or until golden.

    autumn's got the looks ...

    f a l l ☆ fashion

    Betsey Johnson 1997 fall/winter collection. This model stuns in a vintage haute couture outfit, with a vivid orange dress that brightly contrasts the black trim and details. Black, red, and orange make a great color combination for autumn.
