½ tsp nutmeg (a hint of mystery and wisdom)
1 tbsp lemon juice (to preserve and brighten—like truth spoken in love)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Core and slice apples, leaving the skins on for color and integrity.
Toss apples with lemon juice, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
Spread in a baking dish, sprinkle with nuts and optional fruit.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until apples are tender and caramelized.
Serve warm, perhaps with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
