Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan) and line a 22cm round loose bottom cake tin with baking paper.
Peel, core and cut the apples into 1-2cm pieces and place them in a large bowl and stir in the lemon juice.
Weigh the flour out first either in the Thermomix or with separate scales and set aside for later.
If the butter is chilled straight from the fridge, soften it in the Thermomix for 20 sec/speed 8.
Insert the Butterfly whisk. Add the sugar to the butter and mix for 3-4 min/speed 3, scraping down the bowl a couple of times in between until pale and creamy.
Set the timer for 90 sec/speed 3. While it's running, add the eggs through the hole in the lid one at a time then add a tablespoon of flour after each egg. This helps the mixture not to split.
Remove the butterfly whisk and tap it gently on the side of the bowl to release as much batter as possible.
Add the remaining flour, ground almonds and baking powder to the Thermomix and mix for 5 sec/speed 5. Scrape down the bowl and mix again for 5 sec/speed 5 until fully combined.
Drain the Apple pieces from the lemon juice and tip them into the Thermomix bowl. Stir them with a spatula until fully combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth over with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with sugar and bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the tin for ten minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
