I used free texture "Sublime" in Soft Light 100%.
Blossoming in time for Easter, this is the 'Golden Hornet' that my brother planted this spring! Looking forward to seeing the little apples being raided by members of the thrush family in the autumn!
'Golden Hornet' is a small deciduous tree with a broad ovoid crown and white flowers followed by a profuse crop of bright, deep yellow fruits 2.5cm in length, which persist well into winter

We love apples. There are some really tasty ones for sale at the farm down the road.
It's been a hot dry summer but the apples are coming into their prime. My wife and I were out this morning at a local island U-Pick where my favourite apples, the Paula Reds, are ready.

This week while browsing baking blogs online, I came across this recipe at Lovin' from the Oven and figured after all the chocolates and cookies from the holidays, this could be a nice break!
The recipe was easy to follow and aside from adjusting the baking time because my oven is ridiculous and doesn't know how to hold heat, it was a pretty simple process!
Recipe for those interested:
Ingredients:
For the Bread
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 apple, peeled and chopped, mixed with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the glaze
- 1 cup of powdered sugar + 1-3 tablespoons of milk or cream, mixed together to a drizzling consistency
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan. (Or line with parchment paper, which is what I did because parchment paper is my best friend in the kitchen)
2. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside.
3. Cream together the white sugar and butter. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually stir in the flour and baking powder. Mix milk into batter until smooth.
5. Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan; the top with half the apples and half the brown sugar mixture.
6. Pour the remaining batter over apple layer; top with remaining apples and brown sugar mixture.
7. Swirl brown sugar mixture through apples using a knife. (Following instructions is hard, so I skipped this step... still turned out okay just not as visually appealing)
8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. (Or if your oven is evil; bake for 65 minutes and hope for the best)
9. Let cool for 15 minutes before drizzling with glaze. (Or get distracted and come back an hour later to do this step)
Enjoy!
Hope everyone is having a sweet Sunday!

ten apple rootstocks from Irish Seed Savers.
These are rootstock M111, so will make big trees. I am going to graft some Irish Heritage varieties for planting over at Manus'. ...I have probably run out of space at home for new apple trees!
I'll get started tomorrow!
Apples from Gettysburg. There are heritage varieties in there, but darned if I can identify which ones are which. But I do know that all are good for pies and baking, so I see pie and applesauce in the future
Some are grimes goldens, jonathans, either idared or winesap (I forget which I requested) and galas. I know, galas aren't uncommon-- but they sure are tasty.

A pair of apples all shined up and ready to eat.

made with stored apples from the Autumn. I am very pleased with myself to be still eating apples in February. The ones in this crumble were a mix of Striped Beefing and Jupiter (so a cooker and an eater). Paula used about 20% biscuit crumbs added in the crumble which makes a great luxurious crumble taste.
delicious with vanilla ice cream!
I feel very full up!
