Cook the bacon in the oven, over the stove, or in the air fryer—you choose your preferred method! Drain the grease, chop or crumble the 1 pound bacon into pieces, and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 18 x 13 x 2-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the 1 (8-ounce) tube crescent dough sheet, onto the prepared pan. If you're using crescent rolls, pinch the seams together. Prick the dough using a fork.
Using a basting brush, brush 2 tablespoons of maple syrup on top of the dough.
Next, sprinkle the ¾ cup brown sugar evenly over the dough.
Top with the cooked bacon pieces.
Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and sprinkle with cracked black pepper, if using.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Allow to cool before cutting or "cracking" into pieces.
