Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Prepare the cake mix according to manufacturers instructions. Pour into muffin pans lined with paper baking cups to prevent sticking to the pan while baking.
  2. Bake according to the manufacturers instructions and allow to fully cool. You should yield 12 - 24 cupcakes depending on the brand.
  3. Once totally cooled, cut the top off of the cupcake right above the part where the cupcake mushrooms - Not Below!
  4. Place the tops to the side as they will be used later to top the cupcake (they are not scraps - so do not eat!).
  5. Using a small pairing knife, cut a small circle on the top of the cupcake. Use a spoon to scoop cake from out of the hole (about a tablespoons worth).
  6. Fill the hole with pie filling (if the hole is about a tablespoon, then use 2 tablespoons of filling). Spread the excess filling over the top of the cupcake.
  7. Take one of the cupcake tops that was cut off earlier and cut it in half down the middle to create 2 half circles. Place the half circles with the rounded side facing in and the smooth baked side facing up back on top of the filled cupcakes. This will form a Butterfly shape on top of your cakes.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar.
