Ingredients

Cake:

¾ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
3 cups finely chopped Granny Smith apples
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F(175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Make the cake: Whisk oil and eggs together in a bowl. Place apples in a separate bowl, and pour oil-egg mixture over top. Let stand while mixing the dry ingredients.
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Gradually fold flour mixture into apple mixture; mix until batter is thick but well combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, make the frosting: Beat cream cheese, 1 tablespoon milk, vanilla, and salt in a mixing bowl until well combined. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, then continue to beat until smooth. Beat in additional milk, if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting is desired consistency.
Spread frosting over cooled cake.
