We've already told our side of the Cherpumple-Off story -- in which we go head-to-head with Serious Eats to see who can make the biggest, baddest cake/pie mashup around  -- but our opponents have their own take on the epic battle. Erin Zimmer at Serious Eats breaks down the making of the winning Cherpumple (cutely named Sir Pumple), a Thanksgiving-themed monster filled with, among other creations, sweet potato pie, jalapeno cornbread and turkey-duck meatloaf. 

Want to make your own? The genius chefs at Serious Eats promise a how-to later this year, come November. Keep an eye out for more tasty details.
