Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a cake pan with butter or cooking spray.

Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly.

Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.

In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

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

Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.

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

Fold in the sliced apples and walnuts gently.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top.

Sprinkle brown sugar over the top for added sweetness and crunch.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
