Apples are a great source of soluble fiber and are full of antioxidants like vitamin C. Flax oil, too has numerous health benefits, most notably an abundance of essential omega-3 fatty acids. This tasty recipe is also good with pears used in place of apples.

1 tbsp butter
5 tbsp pure maple syrup
¼ tsp ground cloves
1½ tsp cinnamon
