Start by chopping the apples into small cubes, add them to a bowl and sprinkle cinnamon on top.<br>2. In a clean bowl mix together the sugars, butter, eggs and vanilla. Mix well then add in the flour and baking powder.<br>3. Pour it into a lined slow cooker and turn it on high for 2 hours.<br>4. Make the salted caramel by melting butter and brown sugar together in a pot. Mix in the heavy cream slowly and the salt. Set side.<br>4. Once the cake is done poke a few holes and pour half the salted caramel sauce on-top and allow it to seep in for an hour.
