1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 cup sugar |
6 same-size granny smith apples |
2 tablespoons butter, cut into 6 teaspoon-size pieces |
1 cup apple juice |
6 sprigs fresh mint |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Combine cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Core apples, making sure not to puncture the bottom of the apples so that the juices will remain. Remove skin from 1/2-inch around top of apples at the opening.
