• 1 tsp. baking powder
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• ¾ tsp. cinnamon
• ¼ tsp. nutmeg
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 medium apples, grated
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 tsp. fine salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted

Instructions

1. The first step is to preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
2. In a separate bowl, stir together sugar, oil, and eggs. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture. Fold in grated apple.

5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool for about 5-10 minutes, then gradually beat in powdered sugar until frosting is spreadable. Let it cool before frosting the cupcakes.
