I am known for my Camping Apple Cake by now.  And why shouldn't you bake while camping, right? On our most recent camping trip, we had enough sweets between the S'mores, Nutella sandwiches and fudge shop tastings, so I didn't get to make it! Tiny still wanted some, so I baked it when we got home, and we brought it to share at an early Labor Day BBQ. There is still time to make it today for Labor Day, or for back-to-school or Rosh Hashanah, which is coming up! 
To bake over a campfire grill, use a disposable tin pan, or a reusable one you don't mind washing. Grease the bottom of the pan with butter or oil before filling it, and grease a sheet of tin foil before covering it. Check it often to make sure it is not burning.

Ingredients
One box of yellow cake mix, prepared according to instructions with water, oil and eggs.
One can of apple pie filling.
A quarter cup mixture of dry oatmeal, brown sugar and cinnamon. 

Directions 
Spread the apple pie filling in a 13x9" pan. Cover with the prepared yellow cake batter, and spread evenly. Top with the cinnamon topping. Bake according to the cake instructions, about 35 minutes. Enjoy with ice cream if at home!

People always say not to make brownies from scratch, that a box mix is just as good or even better. You listen. You pour in your ½ cup of oil and crack in that one egg. You give it a good mix until all of the ingredients are moistened. You bake them in the hot oven, and try cutting them while still warm. And yes, they are tasty. But only once you have nibbled one of a dozen Oh Brownie Karmel Sutra treats will the words “oh...brownie...” fall in sweet and salty crumbs from your lips. Sorry, you were baking?

My friend Beth's friend Memoria runs a food blog called, Mangio da Sola, which if my internet search is correct, means "eat from the soul" in Portuguese.  While reading it, I came across a wonderful looking breakfast (or anytime) treat, called an Apple Breakfast Puff.  It looks like something that would be great for breakfast during Chanukah (or Rosh Hashanah) since it includes apples and cinnamon sugar. It isn't fried, but gives the appearance of being just as decadent. I need to buy an apple and try them out. Here is the recipe. Just make sure your little ones are OK with eating cinnamon and nutmeg.  ~ Parents: Do you have a special baked treat that works well around-the-clock? ~  PS: Memoria has informed me that Mangio da Sola means 'I eat alone" in Italian, but she likes my meaning too!

When we received the book It's Challah Time! from The PJ Library Tiny was only a few months old.  I read it to her a couple of times and then put it away on the cookbook shelf. Cut to a year later and my tot loves to "mix it" as she says. Her baking career started with the challah recipe at the end of this book.  We each had a friend over to help bake round challahs for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. I had prepared the sweet dough ahead of time and let the tots play with it and cover it in sprinkles. Tiny's pal still can't enter our house without saying "brinkles" and having a couple of the little jimmies as a snack.  It is a sweet new year indeed.  ~ Parents: What have your baby bakers made so far? ~
