**Full Disclosure: I received two jars of pie filling and a jar of preserves from Grandma Hoerner’s for review purposes. No other compensation was exchanged. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I am going to let you in on a {shocking} secret — I don’t like pie! I know, I know, but I just don’t! I like the filling and I like the crust, but not together. So when I got Grandma Hoerner’s pie filling, my mind started spinning. What could I do with these BESIDES make pies.
Our day to bring church breakfast was coming, so I made Spiced Peach Pop Tarts. And they were really good. James even asked if he could have them for breakfast the following week.
But I still had a jar of apple pie filling. Then I had an idea … cupcakes made with pie filling! Not filled cupcakes, but rather, using the filling in the batter. BRILLIANT, right?! 😉

These cupcakes are not overly sweet. I had a jar of white (store bought) frosting in the pantry, so that’s what I used.
I LOVE pie, pumpkin and lemon meringue. These cupcakes sound delicious!
Were they good with the frosting? I would think they’d be good without or with a streusal topping. yum!
My husband said the cupcake was perfect – but the icing was a little weird. I thought cream cheese would have been better, but he said no. Streusel topping would be awesome!
Oooh I am definitely making these! My husband and kids would go nuts for them!! Pinning it so I can make it later!
Oh my gosh! Yummmmm!
Yummy!!!!!
These are good!
These sound delicious!
