- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F and grease a baking dish to prepare for the apples.
2. Prepare the Apples: Slice off the tops of each apple and carefully hollow out the centers, leaving about 1/2 inch of apple flesh on all sides.

6. Top It Off: Sprinkle the remaining graham crumble on top of each stuffed apple.
7. Bake to Perfection: Place the apples in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is set.
