3. Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, vanilla, salt.
4. Stir in flour, baking powder, cinnamon. Batter will be thick.
5. Spread half the batter into the pan.
6. Top with apple filling, then spread the rest of the batter over it.
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and set.
8. Melt glaze ingredients together and whisk in powdered sugar.

The batter is thick—use your hands if needed to spread it.
The maple glaze is essential! It adds sweetness and keeps them moist.
Store at room temperature for 2–3 days or freeze (without glaze) up to 2 months.
