This is a very easy and simple foundation recipe. If you aren't familiar with baking apple crisp then I suggest you use this. Although, it's not really the "traditional" recipe. I'm also used to having Apple crisp with oats and lemon to keep the apples from browning, and plus I like the way the lemon tastes in it :). I used this recipe and added a those and a few more spices (plus I can't follow a recipe for the life of me). I just put mine in the oven and I am very pleased with how it's looking :)
