color specific cell using kableExtra and cell_spec

I'm preparing a PDF file using RMarkdown and I want to color a specific cell in red using kableExtra and cell_spec. I am able to color whole row (row_spec) or column (column_spec) but I was not able to do it with cell_spec. Here is the code I used to color the first row:

knitr::kable((mtcars), booktabs = TRUE) %>%
  row_spec(1, bold = FALSE, color = "red")

Is it possible to color a single cell (mtcars[1,1]) to red?

You can use cell_spec as follows to set cell(1,1) to red

cs_dt = mtcars  
cs_dt[1,1] = cell_spec(cs_dt[1,1], color = "red")

kbl(cs_dt, booktabs = T, escape = F)
