Prep the apples by coring, peeling, and slicing into slices that are all; roughly the same size.
Add the apples to a baking 9x13-inch baking dish then add the lemon juice, brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, vanilla, and apple juice to the dish. Stir to combine and coat all of the apple slices.
Spread the apples evenly into the dish and top with the cubed butter.
