Cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform cake pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, spices, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vinegar, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding together with a spatula until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Arrange the apple slices on top of the batter, slightly overlapping the slice before.
Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on top of the apples.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out almost clean.
Remove from oven and let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before releasing from the cake pan and slicing.
Drizzle with salted maple glaze and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Caramel:
In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, combine maple syrup and brown sugar.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar has almost dissolved.
Add the butter and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the heavy cream and sea salt and cook for another 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly. The glaze should bubble up and become lighter in colour.
Once the glaze thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove from heat and transfer to a jar to finish cooling.
If you’re not using the glaze right away, microwave for 30 seconds before drizzling.
