- ½ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- ¼ cup Yummie Crummies
- ¼ cup Pecan Yummies
- 2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper (if you like it spicy add more cayenne pepper)
- 2 TB pure maple syrup (ex. Back Creek Farm)
- ½ lb thick sliced applewood – smoked bacon
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil (for easy cleaning) and place a wire rack on top.
- Spray with generous amount of PAM.
- Combine brown sugar, Pecan Yummies, and Yummie Crummies in food processor and process until the pecans are finely ground.
- Add salt, pepper and cayenne pepper and pulse to combine.
- Add the maple syrup and pulse to moisten crumbs.
- Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise and line up the bacon the backing rack.
- With small spoon or spatula evenly spread the pecan mixture on each piece of bacon using all the mixture.
- Bake 25-30 minutes, until topping is brown.
If bacon is under-baked the bacon won’t crisp during cooling.
While it’s hot, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel and set it aside to cool.
