6 tablespoons of apple, chopped

Bring water to a boil in a medium sauce pan over high heat. Add barley, bring water back to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let cook for 35 to 40 minutes until most of the water is absorbed.
Stir in sugar, cinnamon & nutmeg. Add 1/2 cup milk, stir until mixture is creamy and barley is tender. Most of the liquid should be absorbed.
If necessary, add an additional 1/2 cup of milk to reach the desired consistency.
