- 15.25 ounces vanilla cake mix (Duncan Hines or Pillsbury*)
- 7 ounces Philadelphia 1/3 fat cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

- Combine cake mix and pumpkin spice in a large bowl.
- Add pumpkin puree and water, mix about 2 minutes.
- Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake about 20 - 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Meanwhile for the frosting, combine the cream cheese, pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and brown sugar until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to pipe.
- Once the cupcakes cool, use a spatula to ice the cupcakes or pipe them which may might require making more frosting.

Notes
- *Betty Crocker has reduced their cake mixes, so read the labels on your box. I switched this to Duncan Hines still carries 15.25 oz box and reduced the rest of the ingredients. Do not use Betty Crocker with these measurements, the box is smaller.
