For the Topping: Add the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to a medium-sized skillet over medium heat then stir until melted and bubbly.

Scrape mixture onto a silpat or parchment paper then set aside to cool.

For the Apples: Add butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to the same skillet then stir until melted and bubbly. Add apples then turn the heat down slightly and saute for 2 minutes. Cover skillet with a lid then saute, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender but still have a little bit of a bite, 3-5 more minutes.

Scoop apples into bowls then top with crisp topping and serve with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
