This is a big big share!  One of those tried and true recipes I've been making for years.  They are gold!  Best served cold from the refrigerator.  Great for dessert and for breakfast!

Oatmeal - Cranberry - Cheesecake Bars

2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/4 cups quick cooking oats - I use gluten free

3/4 cups packed brown sugar

1 cup butter, softened

12 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla

16 ounce can whole cranberry sauce

2 teaspoons cornstarch

In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, oatmeal, and brown sugar.  Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs.  Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the crumbs.  Press remaining crumbs into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in the same bowl beat cream cheese and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.  Beat in eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla.  Spread over crust in baking pan.  Stir together cranberry sauce and cornstarch.  Spoon carefully over cream cheese layer.  Sprinkle with reserved crumbs.

Bake 40 minutes or more until set.  Cool on a wire rack.  Cover and chill at least 3 hours.  Cut into bars.  Makes 36 bars.
