1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and stir until blended. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, add apple butter and melted butter. Add to the flour mixture, and stir until batter is just blended. Fold in the apples and bacon. 2.
