Slow Cooker Maple Pecan Apples

• 4 medium Granny Smith apples
• 1/3 cup raisins
• 1 tbsp rum
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/3 cup chopped pecans
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2/3 cup maple syrup

1. Core apples from the top 3/4 of the way through. Use a small sharp knife to score each apple around its middle to a depth of 1/4 inch (to allow expansion during cooking).
2. Soak raisins in rum for 5 mins. Combine butter, nuts, sugar and spices in a medium bowl. Add rum raisin mixture and mix well. Fill apples with mixture.
3. Combine cream and syrup in a 4 1/2 quart slow cooker. Place apples to slow cooker, making sure they do not touch the sides. Cover and cook on low for 3-3 1/2 hours, until apples are cooked through and tender (insert a skewer to test).
4. Transfer cooking sauce to small saucepan. Bring to a boil on medium heat and cook for 2-3 mins, until thick and syrupy. Serve hot apples with sauce.
