- 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs

- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 13×9 inch baking dish; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats and brown sugar. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the mixture. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese and sugar in a medium bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, lemon juice and vanilla. Spread the cheesecake mixture over the baked crust.
- In a small bowl, combine the cranberry sauce and the cornstarch. Carefully spoon over the cheesecake mixture. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the top.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until set. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until completely cooled and firm. Cut into bars.
- Store in the refrigerator.
