Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter or spray a 9x13-inch baking pan. Cream butter and sugar together in a medium bowl. Add flour, oats and spice; mix well. Press two-thirds of the oat mixture into the bottom of the pan; set aside. Mix the pears, cranberries and condensed milk together in a bowl. Pour over oat mixture in pan. Top with remainder of the oat mixture; bake about 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and cut into squares.

 

Notes: This recipe is an easy change from a pie, and it tastes GREAT.
