Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a baking dish with butter.

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until combined.

Fold in the sliced apples gently into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the custard sauce according to package instructions.

Serve slices of the apple cake warm with a drizzle of custard sauce.
