Easy Oatmeal Cinnamon Apple Scones

in Food & Drink on 03/29/17

Easy recipe for oatmeal cinnamon apple scones

Regardless of your niche, one of the key components to a successful blog is beautiful photography. It isn’t a coincidence that some of the most popular blogs like Gal Meets Glam or Gimme Some Oven include stunning images in every post. I’m always inspired by the “big time” bloggers and at the same time, I strive to create beautiful and engaging content, too. It’s obvious to me that these bloggers don’t use their iPhones to create content for their blogs. They rely on professional photography equipment, as do I.

Of course, I don’t have to tell you that photography equipment is expensive. Cameras, lenses and other gear can set you back hundreds (or thousands) of dollars. As much as I’d love to buy a top-of-the-line camera and all of the fancy lenses, it’s just not feasible. Instead, I’ve invested gradually.

I purchased a Canon Rebel T3i about three years ago. It was my first DSLR camera and at the time, it was a huge investment. It wasn’t until about a year later that I purchased my first lens – the 50mm. This is a lens that a lot of bloggers swear by because it allows you to easily achieve the coveted blurry background in your photos. I’ve been happy with that lens and have it to thank for the beautiful photos you’ll see in posts like this and this. That being said, it’s been a while since I last invested in a lens and I wanted something that would allow me to shoot in a wider angle. Alas, I purchased a 24mm lens and now I’m learning how to use it.

Using Pinterest as inspiration to bake scones

The other day, I was craving scones, so I decided to do some baking. I love experimenting in the kitchen, but it’s been a while since I’ve last shared any recipe posts. A quick search on Pinterest led me to a recipe for oatmeal cinnamon apple scones, which I found on Miss Information. It felt like a perfect excuse to take my new lens for a test drive. I even filmed a little “making of” video, which is live on my YouTube channel.

    Oo you have to share (or let me know) what your thoughts on the 24mm. I’m looking to invest to… I was considering the 35mm but when we rented the lenses just to check it out, I wasn’t impressed. Not sure if we got a defect lens? Those scones do look delicious! They would be perfect with coffee!

      I’ve never shot with a 35mm, but I’m still learning how to use the 24mm. It’s COMPLETELY different than the 50, so I’m still learning. Feel free to DM me any time if you wanted to chat a bit more. I ultimately went with it because it was much more affordable than a lot of the lenses out there, but still different.

    These looks delicious!! Photography is something I really struggle with. I have always been interested in it, but never really pursued it. I would love to learn more, but classes are expensive and the equipment is insane!!

      It’s really difficult because of the price. It’s definitely a tough hobby to break into. There’s still so much I wish I could afford to splurge on too!

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

Now that these have been gifted, I can share these Now that these have been gifted, I can share these! 

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

I love how these little toques (aka: beanies) turned out. I also had a couple extras in a different yarn, so I added string and threw them on the tree!

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
