Pan-Roasted Apples with Maple and Pecans

[LINDA RN]

This is a wonderful unprocessed healthy recipe but will only be an every once in a while treat.
If you like it well enough, you could use Maple flavoring and Stevia or Splenda and omit the Pecans & butter and then you could enjoy more often.

The maple syrup would definitely not be LDL friendly, so I'd recommend stevia and the maple flavoring you talked about.

I have seen many kinds of flavored stevia and kinda thought that maybe they have or will have a maple-flavored Stevia
