FILLING

TOPPING

Preheat oven at 350. Prepare a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray and flour. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, ¾ cup brown sugar, and margarine. Use a pastry blender to cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserving 1½ cups of the crumb mixture, press remaining firmly on bottom of prepared pan. Bake 15 minutes.

Cool 10 minutes before topping with cheese mixture. In another mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, condensed milk and lemon juice.

Pour over baked crust. In a smaller mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon brown sugar, cornstarch, and cranberry sauce. Pour over cheesecake base. Top with reserved crumb mixture. Bake 40 minutes or until golden brown.
