Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon pie filling and softened cream cheese until well combined and smooth.
Pour the lemon cream cheese mixture over the crumb layer in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
