Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. -
Layer the Pie Filling
Spread the lemon pie filling evenly across the bottom of your dish to form the first layer. -
Add the Cream Cheese
Drop small spoonfuls of softened cream cheese over the pie filling for creamy pockets of flavor. -
Top with Cake Mix
Sprinkle the lemon cake mix evenly over the top of the cream cheese and filling. -
Finish with Butter
Drizzle melted butter evenly across the surface, making sure most of the cake mix is moistened. -
Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly. -
Cool & Enjoy
Let it rest for about 10 minutes. Serve warm, or let it cool to room temperature for a firmer slice.
