Cut the apples in half around the middle. Remove the core and seeds with a small spoon or knife. Place the apples in an ovenproof baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spoon this mixture into the centers of your apple halves. Pour water or apple juice into the baking dish.
Bake apples for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife.
Serve warm with low-fat ice cream, whipped cream or plain or vanilla yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup.
