Wash, peel, and core the apples. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick wedges.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Add the apple slices to the skillet in an even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring, allowing the apples to begin softening and slightly browning.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt over the apples. Stir gently to coat the apples evenly in the sugar mixture.
Continue to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized.
Stir in the vanilla extract during the last minute of cooking and mix well.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the apples cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, dessert, or spooned over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
