Cherry Pie Cupcakes
Description
Cherry Pie Cupcakes use a standard white cake mix prepared according to package instructions, which provides a tender and moist base. Spooned with cherry pie filling atop the batter before baking, the cherries settle perfectly into the middle, giving a surprise fruit center in each cupcake. Baking at 350°F for about 18-20 minutes results in golden, springy tops that indicate doneness. Served with whipped cream or ice cream, these cupcakes balance cakey softness with sweet, juicy cherries.
The method is straightforward: a simple cake mix combined and portioned into liners, topped with cherry filling, then baked until springy. The result is a convenient handheld cake with embedded fruit rather than layered.
Ingredients
- 14.25 ounces white cake mix 1 box, prepared according to box instructions, Betty Crocker brand
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling 1 can
- Whipped Cream or ice cream for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix cake mix according to box directions. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- Place 3 tablespoons of cupcake batter in each well. Top with 1 tablespoon cherry pie filling.
- Bake 18-20 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Placing cherry pie filling on top of the batter allows the cherries to sink naturally to the cupcake center during baking, creating a moist fruit core.
- The recipe's nutritional information excludes whipped cream topping.
