Baked Cinnamon-Pecan Apples with Rum

We recently picked a bunch of apples at my son-in-laws grandmas and some of them were Granny Smith. I was looking for some recipes to use up some of the apples and came across this recipe on the LC website. Since I had all the ingredients on hand I decided this was the perfect recipe. Even though I made the suggested slit all the way around the middle of the apples to keep them from exploding they exploded somewhat anyway. Maybe I didn't make my slit deep enough? No problem they still tasted wonderful to my daughter and myself. Hubby and son-in-law liked, but said they would have liked a bit more sugar. Daughter and I liked the subtle sweetness followed by the tang of the apples themselves. They smelled heavenly while baking in the oven from the cinnamon, nutmeg and rum. We also enjoyed the flavor from the golden raisins and pecans. The lightly whipped cream sent this delightful dish over the top. I'll be making these again while apples are at their peak here.
