I think the solution to fitting three pies inside a larger pie and allowing for recursion would probably be to create some kind of Menger pie. Of course, it would work considerably better if this individual was making a Menger Sponge cake. ;)

Who needs bread and circuses when you have pies in cake?

How about a chicken pot pie stuffed in a duck pie (of some sort) stuffed in a giant turkey pot pie?

Tossing every flavor together doesn’t make it tasty. Yuck.

Chargers are expensive, totally wasteful items which are placed on the table before you sit down and taken away before you eat.

I only know this because my cousins explained it to me. Some of us “ladies” don’t normally waste our time channeling Martha Stewart.

Is each slice served on a charger?

The guys at Epic Meal Time would wrap this in bacon and deep fry it. And then polish it off. And then go drink some Jack.

I made a variation on this last year (for a turducken party), with a pecan pie (in white cake) on the bottom and an apple pie (in spice cake) on the top, all with cream cheese frosting. It’s difficult to schlep, so I suggest frosting it on site, and you have to put the most structurally sound pie on the bottom. People eat Very Small slices. (This year, my boyfriend has talked me into baking a cookie into a cupcake into a pie into a cake, only one layer. I ran a couple trials of things like “brownie in a pie” but they didn’t work very well.) It is certainly not for every occasion, but it’s an impressive dessert to bring to a party.

I love cake almost as much as I love pie. I love taking a dump almost as much as I love eating. It does not mean that I should do them both at the same time.

In fact, if there was a church of pie I would be its high priestess. I find this pure sacrilege, and no, that the frosting looks as if it might be malted does not make it OK…I think.

good for dessert after a Bacon Explosion (TM)
which is…
.
a bacon mat
(yes, 2 lbs of bacon woven together into a mat)
topped with dry rub
covered in 2 lbs of bulk pork sausage
topped with cooked chopped bacon
and BBQ sauce
rolled together and
thrown on a grill.

Now, if it had layers of ice cream and whipped cream to top the pies inside, it would be a complete dessert.

My first reaction was ‘Oh, Americans…’

But, I can say that because I’m an American and I want one.

goes well with turbaconducken http://bacontoday.com/turbaconducken-turducken-wrapped-in-bacon/ and wash it down with a super-sized suicide soda from the gas station. LOL

I mean, Charles Phoenix’s cherpumple is much better. Because I think HE invented it.

“…and was seen by over 200 guests…”

I would argue this possibly one of the least suitable metrics for deserts.

Aaaargh. Immortality could have been mine. This guy beat me to it by FIFTEEN MINUTES !

Actually by two years. The how-to video is from 2009. But unlike other holiday pastries, the cherpumple never gets stale!
