Has anyone substituted lemon pie filling (cooked and cooled) for the lemon layer?

We love this pie. Ive made it 3 times now. First time as the recipe shows, next two with a graham cracker crust and a little more lemon. We like it that way better. Great pie and easy too!

Absolutely delicious! The cream cheese filling was so creamy. And the lemon topping so lemony. Loved it. Will definately make again.
