Made these the other night.....my guests compared them to crack! One important tip -- use a RIMMED baking sheet. Lots of excess grease that you don't want all over your oven.

Do I have to turn them over in the oven?

Huge hit at our end of summer party! Definitely need to bake for 25+ minutes. Did a quick broil at the end.

I understood these were VEGETARIAN recipes....hmmmmm...what kind of vegetable is BACON!?!?!?! I'm sure it's 4 STAR QUALITY...but in the wrong pew!

Not a big fan of dates or figs, but apricots, alright. Made them for a party and there wasn't anything left. Also try it with apple.

I really liked these and they went over well at the gathering I brought them to. I used pineapple sage leaves instead of regular sage. They definitely need more than 6-8 minutes baking though. The bacon took about 1/2 hour to cook.

I didn't have the sage leaves, and I substituted turkey pastrami to make them kosher. I agree that they took longer to cook, but they were a fabulous appetizer for Thanksgiving. Mustard on the side worked well also.

these are very yummy and pretty, but I found that they take a lot longer to cook than 6-8 minutes -- more like 15-20 minutes to ensure the bacon was cooked fully.

These are absolutely sensational! They are great hot but also a fabulous leftover cold snack...just don't forget the brush of maple syrup when you make them. My family gobbles them up hot or cold.

Excellent. Next time I would use a bigger sage leaf (bigger than the size of the apricot or 1/2 of the apricot) because couldn't taste the sage over the sweet apricot. This is a keeper recipe!! YUM.
