Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and core the apples, then slice them into wedges about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the apple wedges in a large mixing bowl and toss them with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Pour the butter mixture over the apple wedges and toss gently to coat evenly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the apple wedges out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and lightly caramelized.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the apples cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
