Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix well until the cherries are evenly coated. Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In another mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the melted butter into the oat mixture and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Evenly sprinkle the oat mixture over the cherries in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling.
Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
