Here’s a real crowd-pleaser for an appetizer table or brunch buffet. A whole piece of crispy bacon is rolled into each spiral. It's so good with the apricot preserves, which make it a sweet-and-salty treat. —Kellie Mulleavy, Lambertville, Michigan

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons apricot preserves
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 package (2.1 ounces) ready-to-serve fully cooked bacon

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. In a small skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add preserves. Cook and stir until melted.
Unroll crescent dough into one long rectangle. Roll into a 15x9-in. rectangle, sealing seams and perforations. Cut crosswise into fifteen 1-in. strips; top each with one piece of bacon. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, cut side down.
Spoon apricot mixture over each spiral. Bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.

These are easy to make, with a sweet flavor from the preserves and salty from the bacon. I did not use the ready to eat bacon as I find that too salty so I baked some bacon strips and used those. If you are looking for something a little different for your next party this is it.
