1/2 c. honey
1 egg
1 tsp. vinegar plus enough milk to make 1/3 c.

Melt butter for topping in an 8x8x2-inch pan. Drizzle in the honey. Combine brown sugar and nutmeg. When mixed, sprinkle evenly over the pan. Arrange apple slices overlapping slightly in neat rows over it all. Pour batter over the apples, spreading evenly and taking care not to disturb apples. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
