For\u00a0Day 21 of the\u201c<\/strong>A Dessert a Day \u2018Til Christmas 2021\u2033<\/strong>\u00a0series, I\u2019m resharing an easy apple cobbler recipe that I made for my friend Shari\u2019s \u201cBake it Happen\u201d charitable initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center>\n\n\n\n

I have a friend named Shari whom I met through blogging. She is a warm, kind person who cares about people. As we say in my family, \u201cYou can tell that she was raised well.\u201d Shari has a food blog called My Judy the Foodie<\/a><\/em>, which is inspired by her late mother who was a wonderful home cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/center>\n\n\n\n

Shari\u2019s love for her late mom is palpable. I \u201cget\u201d it. I almost lost my mom last year when she had two heart attacks and the mere thought of not having her in this world brings me to tears a year later. Nothing can replace a (good) mother. I love that Shari has chosen to honor her mom in many ways.

Not only did Shari start the blog but she and her sister Stacy have also developed a clever marketing campaign for breast cancer\u00a0research called Bake it Happen<\/strong>\u00a0in memory of their late mother. (Judy passed away of breast cancer.) They are \u201ccarrying on Judy\u2019s culinary legacy and legacy of hope for a cure for breast cancer\u201d.

This is the 3rd annual Bake it Happen<\/strong> and\u00a0I am promoting this campaign for three reasons. 1. I like Shari. 2. I appreciate when a child honors their parents. 3. Breast cancer destroys families and needs to be eradicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Bake it Happen Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. From September 28th-October 30th you can\u00a0log on to Bake it Happen to sign up to receive 3 of Judy\u2019s famous recipes: Pumpkin Oatmeal Chip Cookies, Judy\u2019s Earthquake Cookies or Judy\u2019s Black Bottom Cupcakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. When you bake\u00a0one of the special recipes, share the dessert with your friends and families. Baking is love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Upload photos of your baked goods to the Bake it Happen Facebook page<\/a> or email address (ubakeithappen@gmail.com<\/a>). $2 will be donated to the Pink Pumpkin Patch Foundation every time that you post or email a Bake it Happen photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. As an added incentive, you are entered to\u00a0win an iPad Mini AND<\/strong> 100 Baked By Melissa Cupcakes each time you upload a baking photo. (I was going to say \u201cforget it\u201d if I won because I\u2019m just doing this to support Shari. However, those cupcakes are a game-changer. Did you read yesterday\u2019s post<\/a>\u00a0which mentioned how AMAZING those mini Baked By Melissa cupcakes are? I want them in my tummy!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.\u00a0100% <\/strong>of the\u00a0money generated from this campaign\u00a0will be donated to the Pink Pumpkin Patch Foundation<\/strong> to be used for breast cancer\u00a0research grants. Through the Foundation, American pumpkin growers give a percentage of proceeds from every pink pumpkin that they sell this year to organizations involved in breast cancer research.

So far in\u00a02015, the Bake it Happen campaign donated \u00a0$1,200+ to the Foundation which in turn granted Dr. Eva McGhee of Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science $15,000 to further her genomic research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a super-easy way to raise money for a great cause. They aren\u2019t asking you for money or even asking you to host a bake sale. \u00a0They are only requesting that you bake something (preferably one of Judy\u2019s 3 recipes) and share it with your family and friends before the end of the month. Won\u2019t you please join in?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking is not my favorite thing to do, but<\/strong><\/span> I believe that baking is an act of love. Like Judy, I bake dishes that my family enjoys. My husband Reggie and oldest son Michael primarily like apple desserts<\/a> and brownies<\/a> while my youngest son Sean likes apple desserts and lemon meringue pie<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went apple picking last week, so I made an apple cobbler last night with the leftover apples. I usually make an apple pie after our annual farm outing but my baker friend Felicia just gifted my guys an apple pie last week. They loved the apple cobbler, so I\u2019ll share the recipe below. (Save it for next month though and make one of Judy\u2019s desserts<\/a> this month and support Bake It Happen<\/strong>!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
