Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 8” cake pan or baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk flour, vanilla and unflavored protein powders, peanut butter powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, whisk together hot water, applesauce, butter and lemon juice.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder will make the cake dense.
Add in most of sliced apples and walnuts; Fold gently.
Pour batter into pan and top with remaining apples and walnuts.
Bake for 25-30 minutes (cover with foil after 20 minutes to prevent top from burning).
Don’t let the batter sit out.
A tester inserted into the center should come out clean and center of cake springy to touch.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
