Which Blessing to Make First on the Apple or on the Spices

Now that Reuven is Bar Mitzva, he tries to make sure that he says 100 blessings each day.

On this Shabbos afternoon, he thought to himself, “I’ll have a fruit snack and smell some besamim. That will add to my count of brachos.”

So he cut up an apple, put it on a plate and brought it over to the table.

Then, he took a special jar with besamim, that their family use to smell on Shabbos, and put it in front of his chair.

When he sat down, he looked at the apple and at the besamim jar, and asked himself, “Do I make a bracha on the apple first, or on the besamim?”

Question: Which bracha should Reuven make first?
