Instructions for the Cake:

Start with the cake. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Get a 9-inch silicone or spring cake form ready.
In a large bowl, stir together the flours, starch, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center. Set aside.
In a small bowl or a small blender, mix maple syrup, apple juice, applesauce, and vanilla until combined.
Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stir to create a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the cake form and bake for about 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry.
Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.

Instructions for the Top:

While the cake is cooling, prepare the apple mixture.
Combine the water and lemon juice in a pot, add apples as you slice them to prevent browning. Make sure to cover all slices completely.
Place the pot on the stove, bring to boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Do not overcook the apples, they should still be a little firm. Set aside.
While the apples are cooking, process the apple juice and agar-agar in a small blender until smooth.
Pour the apple juice/agar-agar mixture into a different pot, bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes.
Add apples to the apple juice/agar-agar mixture and mix thoroughly.

Assembly:

Pour the apple mixture over the cake in the pan and let it cool in the fridge for 1 hour to firm up.
