In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and milk. Combine flour, bicarbonate of soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in walnuts, apple and raisins. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 5 cm apart onto ungreased baking trays. Bake at 200°C for 8–10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. For icing, in a small bowl, combine icing sugar, butter, vanilla and salt in a small bowl. Add enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency.
