Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a cake pan with butter or cooking spray.

Peel and slice the apples, then toss them with lemon juice and cinnamon.

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

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

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the sliced apples gently into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

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

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

In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese and brown cheese until smooth.

Add powdered sugar and milk to the cheese mixture, blending until creamy.

Frost the cooled cake with the brown cheese frosting before serving.
