Place chopped apples in a bowl of water along with the juice of one lemon. Set aside. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar and salt in a large bowl. In a separate smaller bowl whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. Whisk in the melted butter. Pour the buttermilk mixture over the flour mixture and stir until largely combined-try not to over mix. Now drain the apple, shake off any excess water and fold the apples and pecans into the cake batter.

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, pushing it toward the edges. Sprinkle with the large grained sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cake is just set and a bit golden on top.
