@pecans{½%cup} @Granny Smith apple{1%unit} @orange{1%unit} @bacon{4%slices} @chili powder{1%tsp} @brown sugar{2%tbsp} @cinnamon{½%tsp} @plum jam{2%tbsp} @powdered sugar{1%tbsp} @sour cream{2%tbsp} @tempura batter{1%packet} @baking powder{½%tsp} @maple syrup{1%tbsp} @sugar{2%tbsp} @butter{2%tbsp} @salt{½%tsp} @water{¼%cup}

Adjust oven rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Roughly chop pecans. Halve, core, and thinly slice apple. Peel orange and divide into segments.

Place bacon on a #baking sheet{} in a single layer. Evenly sprinkle with half the chili powder and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Bake on top rack until bacon is crispy ~{15-20%minutes}. Watch carefully to avoid burning as it may cook faster.

Place butter in a #small bowl{} and microwave until softened ~{20-30%seconds}. Stir in cinnamon, pecans, and remaining brown sugar until thoroughly combined. Set aside to firm up. In a separate bowl, whisk plum jam, powdered sugar, and 1 tbsp sour cream until smooth.

In a #large bowl{}, whisk together remaining sour cream and water until mostly smooth. Add tempura batter, baking powder, maple syrup, sugar, and salt. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Coat two microwave-safe mugs with nonstick cooking spray. Evenly pour batter into mugs. Microwave until batter is almost set ~{1-2%minutes}. Evenly crumble streusel topping over muffins. Microwave in intervals ~{30%seconds} until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and muffins spring back to the touch.

Divide mug muffins, candied bacon, apple slices, and orange segments between plates. Serve jam dip on the side.
