1-Getting started with this apple crisp recipe: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing an 8×8 baking dish to set the stage for a golden bake. This classic method ensures your dessert turns out bubbly and irresistible every time.

2-Prepare the apple mixture: Now, in a mixing bowl, combine your 6 golden delicious apples (peeled and chopped), 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 3/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Stir everything well and transfer it to your prepared baking dish for that flavorful base. This step infuses the apples with just the right amount of spice and tang.

3-Prepare the topping: Next, tackle the topping by mixing 1 cup of light brown sugar, 3/4 cup of old fashioned oats, 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a pinch of kosher salt, and 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter cubes in another bowl. Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your hands to blend until it forms pea-sized crumbs, then spread it evenly over the apples and pat it down gently.

4-Bake and serve: Pop it into the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling bubbles beautifully. Let it cool slightly before serving warm, perhaps with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
