Step 1
Heat oven to 350ºF. Step 2
Line 9-inch square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides; spray with cooking spray. Mix corn starch and water until blended. Step 3
Bring cherries, lemon juice and 1/4 cup granulated sugar to boil in medium saucepan on medium-high heat, stirring frequently; simmer on medium heat 5 min. or until cherries are softened, stirring occasionally. Add corn starch mixture; cook and stir 1 to 2 min. or until thickened. Remove from heat. Step 4
Mix flour, oats, brown sugar and baking soda in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture forms coarse crumbs; press half onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake 10 min. Meanwhile, mix cream cheese, egg and remaining granulated sugar until blended. Step 5
Pour cream cheese mixture over crust; top with cherry mixture and remaining crumb mixture. Step 6
Bake 25 to 30 min. or until golden brown. Cool completely. Use foil handles to lift dessert from pan before cutting into bars. Kraft Kitchen Tips!
Shortcut
