Directions

1Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10.5x7.5 inch or 8x8 inch baking dish with butter.
2Add 1/2 cup (113g) of salted butter to a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt, and brown while stirring continuously for 5-8 minutes until it reaches a deep golden amber color and smells nutty.
3Immediately pour the brown butter into a large bowl and set aside to cool slightly for 15-20 minutes.
4In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons (28g) butter, 3 1/2 cups (390g) diced apples, 1/2 cup (120g) light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon (2g) cinnamon, optional 1/2 teaspoon (1g) apple pie spice, and a pinch of salt.
5Cook the apples until the sugar melts and they start to soften, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes, covering the pan with a lid for a few minutes to steam them.
6Once the apples are softened and the mixture is slightly thickened and gooey, remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon (4g) vanilla bean paste or extract.
7Set the cooked apples aside to cool.
8Prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing 1/2 cup (120g) brown sugar and 2 teaspoons (4g) cinnamon in a small bowl.
9In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons (6g) baking powder, 1 teaspoon (4g) baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt, 1 teaspoon (2g) cinnamon, and optional 1/2 teaspoon (1g) apple pie spice.
10To the cooled brown butter, add 3/4 cup (180g) light brown sugar and whisk to combine.
11Add 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt or sour cream and whisk to combine.
12Whisk in 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons (8g) vanilla bean paste or extract.
13Add 1/2 cup (120ml) milk and whisk until well combined.
14Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet and gently whisk to combine until the batter is thick.
15Add half of the cooked apples to the batter and gently fold them in with a wooden spoon or spatula.
16Transfer or scoop half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
17Sprinkle the surface with half of the cinnamon swirl mixture.
18Top the cinnamon swirl with the remaining half of the batter, spreading it into an even layer.
19Disperse the remaining cooked apples over the surface of the batter and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon swirl mixture on top.
20Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
21Remove and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
22While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons (40g) maple syrup, 1 tablespoon (15ml) milk, 1 teaspoon (4g) vanilla, and a large pinch of salt until smooth.
23Drizzle the glaze all over the cake.
24Scoop the cake directly from the pan and serve warm with vanilla ice cream for dessert, or a cup of coffee for a cozy breakfast.
