Apple Spiced Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes were always a favorite of mine as a kid. This one is a little different and i think very good. Goes well with ham.

Spray a 4 quart slow cooker lightly with non-stick cooking spray.

Add the sweet potatoes , apple pie filling , raisins , 3 tablespoons butter , and apple pie spice to the slow cooker.

Gently stir to mix.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

In a large skillet , add the pecans , sugar , and 2 tablespoons butter.

Over medium heat , cook , stirring constantly , for 8-10 minutes or until sugar mixture that adheres to the nuts turns golden and starts to melt.

Pour nut mixture out onto a piece of foil.

Let cool completely.

Coarsely crush the nut mixture.

Serve potatoes topped with nuts.
