Heaven Scent Baked Apples

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Core apples peel a strip from the top of each. If necessary cut thin slice from bottom of each apple so apple will stand upright.
2. Place apples upright in greased 11 * 7 inch baking dish. Fill centers with fruit bits or raisins.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine condensed milk, water and nutmeg; pour over and around apples. Set dish in a 13 * 9-inch pan. Set on oven rack. Carefully pour boiling water into pan to 1-inch depth.
4. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender, occasionally spooning condensed milk mixture in bottom of dish over apples. Serve warm.
