  • 2
    In a large bowl, blend together flour, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in brown sugar, oats and walnuts (don’t over mix). Pour maple syrup and gently stir to mix. Press half the crumb mixture over the bottom of the prepared dish to form bottom crust; set aside.

    In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine cream cheese, milk and lemon juice; process until smooth. Pour cream cheese mixture over crust. In a medium bowl, stir together *Citrus Cranberry Sauce and cornstarch. Spread cranberry mixture over cream cheese. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture and lightly pat with palm of the hand to even out.
