Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Dried apricots
- 6 slices Bacon slices (thin-cut)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 12 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Cut each slice of bacon in half so that you have 12 pieces of bacon, one for each apricot.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over both sides of the bacon slices, gently pressing it into the surface so it adheres.
Wrap each dried apricot tightly with one piece of the sugar-coated bacon, securing it with a toothpick to hold everything in place.
Arrange the bacon-wrapped apricots on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out slightly to allow for even cooking.
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.
Remove from the oven and let the bacon-wrapped apricots cool for 3-5 minutes before serving, as they will be very hot.
Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack, and enjoy the sweet and savory goodness!
