The Cherpumple

Preheat your oven for this original creation from funnyman and author Charles Phoenix, who sought to combine all of his favorite Thanksgiving desserts into one. Begin with an apple pie baked into a spice cake, add a layer of cherry pie baked into a white cake, and top off the sweet stack with a pumpkin pie baked into a yellow cake. The cherry-pumpkin-apple (hence, Cher-pum-ple) concoction is finished with a thick slathering of tangy cream cheese frosting and your choice of toppings.
