Thanksgiving "Pie" Cupcakes

I did these for Thanksgiving, for the kids. I thought they'd like them better than real pie! They are vanilla cupcakes with a thick layer of buttercream icing, and a border around the top. Then, real cherry pie filling is carefully placed on top, and then iced in a lattice pattern and ruffle to look like little pies! They tasted SO good. After making a bunch of them I couldn't resist and declared it the best cupcake I'd ever eaten! :-)
