For the cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

For the frosting:

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chopped apples.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Serve and enjoy!
