Make your filling by combining apples, sugar, water, cinnamon and cornstarch in a small saucepan.

Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together until well combined and set aside.
For Cake
For Cake: Preheat oven to 350°.
Grease and flour a 9×13 baking dish. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add applesauce and vanilla and mix till combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift the dry ingredients together.
Add the dry ingredients to the batter in three parts alternating with the yogurt in two parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
Beat until just combined.
Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan.
Spoon the cooled apple mixture over the batter carefully and spread as evenly as possible.
Sprinkle 2/3 of brown sugar cinnamon mixture over apples and cover with the rest of the batter.
Sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar cinnamon mixture over the top.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Combine glaze ingredients and pour over warm cake.
