How to Make Sweet Apple Bacon

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Arrange 1 pound of bacon slices in a single layer on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. This allows for even cooking and crispiness.
  3. Bake for 25 minutes.
  4. Flip the bacon slices carefully.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup apple butter and 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar.
  6. Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of the bacon slices.
  7. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
