Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 can Lemon Pie Filling (22 ounces)
- 1 Box Lemon Cake Mix (15.25 ounces)
- Powdered Sugar, for dusting
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter, for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray or butter to ensure the lemon bars do not stick.
- Mix the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix with the entire can of lemon pie filling. Stir until a smooth, uniform batter forms with no dry patches.
- Bake the bars: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top as needed. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and firm to the touch, no longer jiggles when gently shaken.
- Cool and serve: Remove the lemon bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely to room temperature. Once cooled, cut into squares and generously dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to fully grease the baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to get clean slices.
- Dusting with powdered sugar is optional but adds a nice touch of sweetness and presentation.
- You can store leftover lemon bars in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerate up to a week.
