Grease a baking pan with butter or oil.

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

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

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

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

Stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice.

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

Fold in the apple slices gently to coat them in the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
