The Cherpumple Cake is a three-layer cake made around a stack of cherry, pumpkin and apple pies. Yes, that right.
A pumpkin pie, an apple pie and a cherry pie, all baked into a cake.
Quite possibly one of the unholiest culinary creations ever to ride into town on the dessert cart. The Cherpumple is a treat of sickening proportions.
This frosted monster is an especially unique dessert for the friend or family member that always wants to “sample” a bit of everything.
You can also make each pie from scratch, but this cake turns out best using prebaked frozen pies because it is less fragile to work with. Besides, who wants to make three scratch pies for one dessert?
I have a reader that made this with brownie layers instead of cake. I would think a chocolate cream pie, coconut cream pie and a chocolate chip cookie pizza would work well.
The possibles are endless!!
Let me know how YOU style this tower of deliciousness!

This looks totally decadent! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party. Have a wonderful week!
This recipe is like having 4 desserts! Enjoy your week.
This is so interesting and delicious looking 🙂
Thank you Christine. I call it all desserts in one! Enjoy!
Wow!! This is so decadent!! It looks amazing. TFS
Thank you Clearissa. My dad was one of those, “I will have a bit of everything.” And then he would “even” up the cake or pie all day. This was just for him. Enjoy your weekend!
I want to make this to impress my 11 year old granddaughter. She thinks I can bake anything! I have to be gluten free so it will all be made from scratch. I didn’t tell her what I was making but did have her mom ask what her favorite pies were. I was knocked for a loop when she said key lime and apple. The Apple, not a prob but key lime!? I don’t want to disappoint her! It’s for Thanksgiving. My plan is to make crust made from gluten free cookies but for the cherry I’m making a brownie crust. I also have a high altitude to overcome!! Lol. Wish me luck!
I would put the key lime on top. I hope your pie crusts arent too thin. But the cookies may just make the difference. When I do gluten free they always fall. LOL. Good luck and let me know how it turns out!! Happy Holiday!
Does the pie have to be frozen? I’m making homemade pie
No. You can make the pies, cake and frosting from scratch if you like!! Thanks for asking.
I made this years ago, but used cherry, apple and blueberry pies. Fits with the 4th around the corner. It turned out beautifully and got 8 thumbs up(from 4 of us)!?
My crew would love the blueberry addition. I am so glad you served this and that it was well received!! Enjoy your week.
Are the pies frozen when you put them in the batter?
Yes, they are added frozen and cooked with the cake! Thanks for asking. I am glad this recipe interested you! We used it for a 25th wedding anniversary celebration. Enjoy!
OMG, three of my favorites all in one place. I think I’ve died and gone to where dessert doesn’t end up on my (rear)end. Thanks Marilyn for this wonderful recipe.
You are welcome Olivia. This cake is an entire meal in itself! Thx for sharing your thoughts. Have a great day!
Wow is all I can say, talk about a treat. I would love to try it so best I have a crack at it. We do not have pumpkin pie here so I would have to bake my own. Thanks for sharing on the very last #wednesdayswisdom but stay tuned for the all new Over The Moon link up
Oh Marilyn Yum!!! I will be over for afternoon tea. Thanks for sharing this with us at #WednesdaysWisdom, I’m sure this will be a popular recipe.
Bring a fork! Thx Sue.
