Maple-Infused Bacon Delight

Ingredients

- 12 slices Appleton Farms Gourmet Thick Sliced Maple Flavored Bacon
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp hickory smoke flavoring

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to elevate the bacon, allowing for even cooking and crispness.

2. Arrange the Bacon:
Place the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not overlap. This ensures that each piece is cooked evenly.

3. Prepare the Maple Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup and hickory smoke flavoring. Mix thoroughly until well blended.

4. Coat the Bacon:
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the maple syrup mixture over the top of each bacon slice. Turn the slices over and repeat the brushing on the other side.

5. Bake the Bacon:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then check the bacon for crispiness. Depending on your preference, you may want to bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

6. Final Touch:
Once the bacon is cooked to your desired level of crispness, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the bacon to cool on the rack for a few minutes, which will help it crisp up slightly more as it cools.

7. Serve and Enjoy:
Transfer the maple-infused bacon to a serving platter. Serve warm and enjoy the blend of sweet maple and smoky hickory flavors.
