1/2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated or minced
3 Golden Delicious /Granny Smith apples,cored and and cut into 1/2inch square pieces
2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1 stick of whole cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg,
Handful of toasted walnuts ,chopped
vanilla ice cream

a pinch of Nutmeg for garnishing.
