In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
In another bowl, thoroughly mix together the dry ingredients (flour through nutmeg). Add the flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to the sugar mixture.
Stir in the pecans and apples.
Divide batter between the two pans and bake for about 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then carefully remove from pan.
