Wash and core the apple, then chop it into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped apple, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to coat the apples with the mixture.
Cook the apples for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and begin to release juices.
Add honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract to the apple mixture, stir to combine, then remove the pan from the heat.
Arrange the rice cakes on a serving platter.
Evenly distribute the apple cinnamon mixture over each rice cake, making sure to cover the surface generously.
Serve immediately while warm, or allow the topping to cool to room temperature before serving.
