Ingredients
  

  • 1 box lemon poppy seed muffin mix
  • ¾ cup water
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tablespoon strawberry or cherry pie filling
  • 4 oz cream cheese frosting
  • candy corn for topping

Instructions
 

  • Stir together muffin mix, oil, water, and eggs in a large bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line muffin tin with muffin tin liners. This makes 1 dozen.
  • Pour each muffin liner about ⅓ full of muffin mix. Then add strawberry or cheery pie filling to the bowl of remaining muffin mix. Stir until well combined. If is is not orange enough, add more pie filling.
  • Evenly distribute orange muffin mix on top of the yellow muffin mix in the muffin tins. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean. When done, remove from oven and cool on a cooling rack.
  • When cupcakes are cool, cut off the raised part of the top. Spread cream cheese frosting on top. Decorate with candy corn. Serve.
