Blueberry Filled Cupcakes

These Blueberry Filled Cupcakes come together in no time with a little help from store-bought blueberry pie filling.

These are perfect for any patriotic occasion, too. Just top the cupcakes with strawberries and blueberries, or festive sprinkles.

I love making fun desserts that seem impressive... especially when they're actually pretty simple. There's something about filled cupcakes that seem so fancy, right? But these are a cinch to make using store-bought blueberry pie filling. I'm not above semi-homemade hacks! The result is a tasty cupcake that the whole family will love!
