Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Peel, core, and slice the apples into wedges.

Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat until foamy.

Add sugar to the skillet and stir until dissolved and begins to caramelize, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the apple wedges to the caramel, arranging them in a circular pattern.

Sprinkle cinnamon and salt over the apples and cook for 10 minutes, until slightly softened.

Remove from heat and drizzle lemon juice and vanilla extract over the apples.

Cover the apples with puff pastry, tucking the edges into the skillet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

Carefully invert the tart onto a serving plate while still warm.
