Icing :
110g/4 oz/ ¼ cup butter

Plan of attack
preheat oven to whatever works best for you usually (180C/350F usually works for me). Line cupcake pan with cases.
Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
Sift together dry ingredients - flour, spices, salt, baking powder in a small bowl.
Add dry ingredients alternating with milk. beat until smooth.
Add in grated apple.
Scoop batter into cupcake pan and top with crumble then bake for 20-25 mins.
For Crumble :
Combine butter, flour, sugar and oatmeal in a bowl. Toss gently until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add walnuts and sprinkle on cupcakes.
For Icing :
Beat butter in electric mixer until fluffy, add vanilla essence and then slowly add icing sugar one cup at a time or until it reaches desired consistency. Pipe it on, garnish with some walnuts if you so desire, and then devour!
