Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 0.5 cup Apple juice
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow the bacon to cook evenly and become crisp.
Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not overlap.
In a small bowl, mix together the apple juice, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup until smooth.
Using a pastry brush, generously coat one side of each bacon slice with the apple juice mixture.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the bacon slices over.
Brush the other side of the bacon with the remaining apple juice mixture.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is browned and caramelized.
Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Sweet Apple Bacon as a breakfast addition, snack, or a flavorful topping for salads and sandwiches!
