Ingredients

12 pieces Dried apricots
6 slices Bacon slices (thin-cut)
2 tablespoons Brown sugar
12 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

Step 2

Cut each slice of bacon in half so that you have 12 pieces of bacon, one for each apricot.

Step 3

Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over both sides of the bacon slices, gently pressing it into the surface so it adheres.

Step 4

Wrap each dried apricot tightly with one piece of the sugar-coated bacon, securing it with a toothpick to hold everything in place.

Step 5

Arrange the bacon-wrapped apricots on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out slightly to allow for even cooking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and browned, flipping the apricots halfway through cooking to ensure even caramelization.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the bacon-wrapped apricots cool for 3-5 minutes before serving, as they will be very hot.

Step 8

Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack, and enjoy the sweet and savory goodness!
