Instructions

In a large skillet, melt the butter over MEDIUM heat.

Add the sliced apples and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, until they are just beginning to soften.

Sprinkle with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to coat.

Stir together the apple juice (or water) and cornstarch until smooth and pour it over the apples. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the apples.

Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.
