Instructions

Make crumb topping: mix butter, brown sugar, flour, and spices until coarse crumbs form; refrigerate.
Prepare spiced apples: cook diced apples with spices and brown sugar for about 10 minutes; set aside to cool.
Make cake batter: preheat oven to 350°F. Mix dry ingredients, then cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, then mix in apple butter and buttermilk.
Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Pour batter into prepared pan, layer spiced apples, then add crumb topping.
Bake for 65-80 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
Prepare cream cheese frosting: mix cream cheese and maple syrup, blend in powdered sugar, then add milk.
Once cooled, slice cake and drizzle with frosting before serving.

Notes

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for optimal texture.
Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined.
Feel free to tweak the spices to suit your taste.
