  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

directions

  • 1

    Place potatoes on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until tender. Do not over bake so you can scoop the potato out of the shell.

  • 3

    Melt butter in skillet over medium-high heat. Add apple and raisins; saute 2 to 3 minutes, until apple is tender. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Remove from heat.
