I *love* to bake. I haven't done it much in the past few years, but I'm really getting into it now. Last night, my dad bought my mom this Christmas Cookies cook book. I stole it :sb:
I made something today, Cranberry Cheese Squares. Only, I used Blueberries instead... lol
Here's the recipe:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups oats
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 14-ounce can Sweetened Condensed Milk (*NOT* Evaporated Milk!)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 16-ounce can of some kind of pie filling, or whatever you want, I suppose
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare 13 x 9-inch baking pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, beat flour, oats, butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar until crumbly. Reserve 1 1/2 cups crumb mixture. Press remaining crumb mixture firmly on bottom of prepared pan. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in condensed milk until smooth, stir in lemon juice. Spread over baked crust. In another medium mixing bowl, combine pie filling, cornstarch and remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Spoon over cheese layrer. Top with reserved crumb mixture.
Bake 45 minutes or until golden. Cool and cut into bars. Store covered in refrigerator.
Tip: Cut into large squares. Serve warm and top with icecream.
