Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat dry
Poke a generous amount of holes in each sweet potato using a fork
Line a baking sheet with foil and bake sweet potatoes for 1 hr 15 minutes (or until completely done throughout) at 425 F
Peel and chop apple into small pieces
Place apples, cranberries, raisins and butter in a skillet and allow to cook down until apples have just a little bit of crunch left to them (on medium heat)
Toss in pecans and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on low heat
Once sweet potatoes are done, scoop insides into a large bowl and mash
Add apple mixture into the potato mixture and stir well
Add filling back into potatoes and bake on 350 F for another 10-15 minutes
Top with additional pecans, cinnamon and raisins if desired
