Wash, peel, and core the apples, then dice them into cubes.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced apples and sauté for 5 minutes, or until slightly softened.
Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla sugar, then drizzle with honey. Stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the apples are completely tender.
Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Briefly bring to a simmer again, but do not let it boil.
Serve warm or chilled, sprinkled with cinnamon, and garnished with toasted almonds or whipped cream, if desired.
