1. Begin by making the caramel. In a pan, mix the sugar and water and cook until caramelized. Pour this over the apple slices to create a sweet and sticky layer.
2. In a separate pan, melt the butter, then add the honey, buttermilk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Sift in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and mix until well combined. Pour this delightful mixture over the caramelized apple slices.
3. Bake the mixture in the oven at 170°C (340°F) for about an hour. Once baked, allow it to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
