Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Arrange the buttery crackers in a single layer on the wire rack.
Top each cracker with a slice of bacon, ensuring the edges overlap slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, ground black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper until smooth.
Spoon or brush the glaze evenly over each bacon-topped cracker.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the glaze is bubbling.
Cool the crackers on the wire rack for about 5 minutes before serving.
