Ingredients

3 cups Naturipe® Farms blueberries, washed and divided
1 package (18 to 19 oz.) yellow cake mix
1/3 cup applesauce
3 egg whites
1 package (8 oz.) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 roll red-colored rolled fruit snack (from a 4.5 oz. box)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, beat cake mix with applesauce, egg whites and 1 1/4 cups water for 30 seconds on low speed, then 2 minutes on medium speed. Spoon batter into 24 (2inch) aluminum or paper lined muffin cups. Evenly divide 1 cup of blueberries onto tops of batter; do not stir. Bake cupcakes following package directions; remove to a wire rack and cool completely. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spoon onto cooled cupcakes; spread to the edges. Unroll fruit snack and, with a sharp knife, cut into strips 1/8 inch wide by 2 inches long. On half of each cupcake, arrange strips, trimming each to fit. Arrange remaining 2 cups blueberries on the frosting on other halves of the cupcakes, about 10 blueberries per cupcake.
