Cook the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the pan.

Add the diced apples to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Stir in the pecans, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, Dijon, and apple cider vinegar. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until everything is caramelized and glossy.

Stir the crispy bacon back into the mixture.

In a bowl, whip together the goat cheese, cream cheese, maple syrup, and salt until smooth.

Spread the whipped goat cheese onto a serving plate or shallow bowl. Spoon the warm maple apple bacon topping over the cheese.
