1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Make the Most of This Recipe With Tips From The Betty Crocker® Kitchens
Tips:
There will be about 2/3 cup pumpkin remaining from a 15-oz can which can be used to make 1 loaf of pumpkin bread. Search for ‘pumpkin bread’ on www.bettycrocker.com
For easy storing and transporting, use a cupcake caddy.
For Thanksgiving, omit the orange frosting and jack-o-lantern decoration. Make the cupcakes as directed in the recipe, but frost them with Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy cream cheese frosting.
