1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 cup caramel sauce
Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice off the top of each apple and use a melon baller or a spoon to remove the core,
leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom.
Make vertical cuts around the apple, about 1/4 inch apart, stopping about 1/2 inch from
the bottom to keep the apple intact.
Place the apples in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Brush the butter mixture over the top and inside the cuts of each apple.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

and the tops are golden brown.
