Cooking Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
- Use a bundt pan with a non-stick coating or grease the pan well with butter or cooking spray.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the applesauce. Fold in the chopped apples.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk together until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
