Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 9" cake pans with non-stick cooking spray, and line with parchment paper.
Place water and lemon juice in large mixing bowl and whisk together.
Peel and core apples and slice in to small bite size pieces. Place the pieces of apple in the mixture of lemon juice and water while you continue to chop. Toss all the pieces well in the lemon juice and water mixture then drain the apples and return to the mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples and toss. Set aside.
In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, oil and vanilla together until light yellow and a little frothy. Add to the apple mixture and stir.
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Fold in to the apples and mix until everything is evenly combined.
Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared pans.
Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before loosening the edges and removing them from the pans on to a cooling rack.
Serve with caramel drizzle, ice-cream, heavy cream, whipped cream, custard, or all of them! :)
