Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204C)
Put the apple slices, 1/3 cup orange juice, 3 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp nutmeg in a large pot and stir to combine the ingredients. The apples should be coated with the sugar and spices.
Bring the juice in the apples to a boil on medium-high heat and reduce to simmer. Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until the apples are fork tender. Stir occasionally while cooking.
