Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups rolled oats
¾ cup brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, oats, and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of this mixture and press remaining mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan.
Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk until light and fluffy. Stir in lemon juice and spread mixture evenly over prepared crust. Empty cranberry sauce into a small bowl and stir in cornstarch and brown sugar. Spoon over cream cheese layer. Sprinkle top with reserved crust mixture.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until top is golden. Let cool completely before cutting into bars. Store covered in the refrigerator.
