You can set your app time zone by configuring app.php file in config folder .

To change time zone , modify the value of timezone in app.php file.

This is written in this section

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Timezone
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here you may specify the default timezone for your application, which
| will be used by the PHP date and date-time functions. We have gone
| ahead and set this to a sensible default for you out of the box.

For me i am using Asia/Dhaka as my application time zone.

Here is the appropriate syntax : 

'timezone' => 'Asia/Dhaka'
