These Lemon Bar Cupcakes are anything but difficult to make, and simpler to serve than lemon bars. In case you're a lemon bar sweetheart, you'll adore this cupcake form
These Lemon Bar Cupcakes get their name since they have lemon bar filling inside the cupcake and in the delicious icing. They're sweet, tart, and overflowing with lemon season from that compelling lemon bar filling, and they have recently the correct trace of crunch and shimmer from the yellow sugar sprinkled on top.

Ingredients
- 1 box lemon cake mix, plus ingredients on back of box
- 1 small box lemon pudding mix (just the dry mix - I used sugar free, but you can use any kind)
- 1 can Duncan Hines Lemon Pie Filling
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- About 3-4 cups powdered sugar
- Yellow sanding sugar, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350* degrees F. Line 2 muffin tins with about 18 paper liners. Set aside. Meanwhile, prepare the cake mix according to package directions on back of box. Stir in the lemon dry pudding mix to incorporate.
- Fill each muffin tin about ¾ of the way full with the batter. Bake for approx. 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Cool the cupcakes completely.
- Using a small paring knife or a cupcake corer, core the cupcakes and discard centers, being careful not to puncture through the cupcake's bottom.
