Preheat the oven to 400 and adjust the rack to the middle positions. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.

Using a pairing knife, cut a slice horizontally down an apricot. Cut almost but not all the way through, so that it will open like a book.

Place a jalapeno slice inside te apricot, wrap the apricot in a piece of the cut bacon, secure it with a toothpick, and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Bake for 10 minutes. Using a pair of tongs, flip the zingers and bake for 10 minutes more, or until the bacon is golden brown. Serve immediately.
