How fun are these pie cupcakes to make for your holiday gatherings.
Using M & M’s and a delicious mascarpone frosting, the kids will make pumpkin, cherry, apple, and blueberry pie cupcakes.

Mascarpone cheese is a soft Italian creamy cheese. You can substitute with cream cheese to make the recipe. Adding the spices gives the frosting a pie crust look.
