Pecan Pie Cupcakes

Pecan Pie Cupcakes have a gooey pecan pie filling in the middle and are topped with a creamy brown sugar buttercream. There’s no better cupcake for Thanksgiving. These cupcakes have so much buttery, crunchy pecan flavor! To simplify this recipe, I started with a box of yellow cake mix and baked cupcakes according to the package directions. If you can find the Butter Pecan cake mix, it would work well too. I then scooped out some of the middles of each cupcake to make room for a gooey and sweet pecan pie filling. It’s a nice little hidden surprise.
