I made these as an appetizer a few years ago for Thanksgiving, and now every holiday, my family looks forward to them and wants to know where the apricots are. LOL.

I think I cooked the bacon a little longer in the pan than I should have, I should have looked to see if there was a video or something first because I didn\u2019t want to undercook it, but I think I overcooked it.
