Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
Chop apples into small slices and place in a small baking dish (8x8 will do). 

Coat apples well with cinnamon, nutmeg, and Brown Sugar 

Place water in the dish & bake apples uncovered for 20 minutes or until apples are soft

Note: I like to leave a little crunch to mine.

Let cool, then cuddle up on the couch with your favorite Holiday movie & Enjoy! 

Optional: If you'd like to add more of a crunch consider topping the whole dish with 1 oz of walnut halves
