In a saucepan, combine the drained barley, apples, 2 cups water, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, lemon juice, nutmeg, and salt; bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the barley and apples are softened and the water is absorbed, adding more water if needed, about 1 hour. Take the saucepan off the heat and stir the walnuts into the barley.
