Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized ovenproof dish and set it aside.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into approximately 1/4-inch slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and water to the apples. Toss until the apples are well coated and pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish, making sure to cover all of the fruit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow the apple crisp to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
