Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 4 tablespoons half & half and 2 tablespoons butter in 1 1/2 quart saucepan.

Stir in enough powdered sugar for desired frosting consistency, adding additional half & half, if necessary. Stir in vanilla. Frost cupcakes.
Tip #1
- An easy way to shred the apples is to core and halve them before shredding. Leave the peel on for a little color and texture.
Tip #2
- Brown sugar is measured a little differently than other sugars or flour. Be sure to pack the brown sugar firmly into the measuring cup or spoon until it is level with the top.
