How to Make the Recipe

Let’s get started! Here’s how to make this sweet and savory masterpiece:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
Cook the chopped bacon until soft but not crunchy, about 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
Roll out the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Pinch the seams together to make a single sheet. Use a rolling pin to fill the pan as much as possible. Prick the dough all over with a fork.
Brush half of the maple syrup evenly over the dough using a pastry brush. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly on top, doing your best to cover the entire surface.
Distribute the cooked bacon pieces evenly over the brown sugar. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top. Drizzle with the remaining maple syrup.
Bake for 22-25 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before cutting into small pieces and serving.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are a few tips to ensure your Maple Bacon Crack turns out perfectly every time:

Use sheet-style crescent rolls for the easiest assembly.
If you’re using pecans, consider toasting them lightly in a dry pan for extra flavor.
Don’t overbake! The top should be golden but not too dark.
Let it cool completely before cutting—this helps the layers set and makes it easier to slice.

How to Serve

This Maple Bacon Crack is incredibly versatile. Serve it as:

A sweet and savory appetizer at your next party
A unique breakfast or brunch item
A snack for game day or movie night
Even as a dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
