I use to make this exact recipe years ago and lost it. I could never remember the size of pie filling or how long to bake. It also had been so long I couldn't remember for sure if there was a third ingredient. I was so happy to find it. It is great when you frost it with a cream cheese frosting. I use to get raving reviews when I made it. Any cream cheese recipe will do.

This was easy to make and taste was ok, but frankly I didn't like the texture. It was too spongy and rubbery for me. Also, it could be a function of the brand of cake mix I used but after baking, it became a misshapen mass that didn't look too appealing.

good - very easy! I liked it with a lemon glaze (lemon juice, powdered sugar and a pinch of salt) poured over the top while hot to make a thin topping. This is good to have on hand for an easy and fast sweet tooth need.

These were okay. Big lemon flavor...next time I might not add a whole can of lemon filling.

These are so easy and yummy, too! Anyone could make them. Next time I'm going to have my kitchen phobic daughter do, but I will be greasing my pan. They are sticky.

Wow! This is delicious. I made two. One of them was lemon and the other one was strawberry. They were both delicious, but we prefer strawberry. All I did was use strawberry pie filling instead of lemon. YUM! This is easy and fast and relatively low calorie.

This recipe was a springboard for me to Banana Walnut Cake!! I made my own pie filling from about 5 frozen bananas, a small package of banana cream pudding mix and about 1 cup of milk. Then added the cake mix and some chopped walnuts. After baking, let it cook, spread with cream cheese frosting and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. It was a hit at my Church dinner and everyone wants the recipe! Soon I will try it with other fruit pie or puddings. Your imagination is the only limit!!

My 11 year old made these. She doesn't like the flavor of lemons but loved these!!! The only problem was that they were a little sticky.

This recipe is exactly what it says-- easy for junior chefs. My five year old made the bars completely on his own. He dusted with confectioners sugar before cutting. The bars are very light and good, but I will add a little lemon extract next time. They weren't quite as tart as we like. Also, the texture takes some getting used to. They are very spongy-- not bad, just not what I expected from a lemon bar. That said, we ate the entire batch and will be making again. They are quite addicting!
