To use this lemon pie filling, simply open the can and pour it into a pre-baked pie crust. If you are making a lemon meringue pie, you will typically add meringue on top of the filling and then bake it until the meringue is golden brown.

The filling is already sweetened and thickened, making it a straightforward ingredient to incorporate into your baking.
