Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Spread the mixture into the bottom of the greased baking pan.
Layer the sliced apples over the top of the sugar mixture and set the pan aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating between each addition.
Beat in the vanilla.
Add the dry ingredients and milk to the egg mixture, alternating the two ingredients and beating after each addition, until all the ingredients have been added.
Carefully spread the cake batter over the top of the apples in the baking pan.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for around 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and carefully invert the pan onto a serving dish and allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
