Ingredients

1/4 cup raspberry pie filling
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup 2% milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Very easy to make. I found the raspberry pie filling in the grocery store with the other pie fillings. These were a big hit!

These cupcakes are fantastic, I also made chocolate cupcakes and used cherry pie filling yummy yummy, and I used cherry pie filling for the white cake also because I did not have raspberry!!! yummy also

I also didn't hear of raspberry pie filling. Can it be replaced by raspberry jam? Maybe who submitted the recipe can answer this?

Raspberry is one of my favorite flavors and I know I'm going to enjoy these cupcakes but can someone please tell me where to get raspberry pie filling? Is this a specialty item or is it found in local grocery stores?
