1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
5 medium-size baking apples, peeled, cored, and sliced |

1 egg, beaten |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
2/3 cup whipping cream |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar, water, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium Dutch oven; stir well. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter melts. Add apples; cover and cook 10 minutes or until apples are tender. Drain apples, reserving 1/2 cup syrup.
