Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Cut off the top rind of brie cheese and place the brie cheese on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once the oven is preheated, bake the cheese for 8-10 minutes, or until it is soft and just starting to melt.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon pieces in a skillet over medium heat until cooked to your desired crispiness. Remove the bacon bits to a paper towel to drain. Remove the pan from the burner and drain off the fat from the pan.
Right before serving, return the bacon bits to the pan, and stir in the maple syrup. Heat over medium-low heat just until the maple syrup is warmed through.
To serve, slide the parchment paper directly onto a serving platter. Top with the warm maple-bacon mixture. Serve immediately with crostinis or crackers.

I found that if you add the maple syrup to the hot pan and let it sit for too long, it carmelizes and gets SUPER sticky - making it hard to get out of the pan! To prevent that from happening, warm up the maple syrup right before serving and then immediately put it on the hot brie. You could also just warm up the maple syrup in the microwave and drizzle it over the bacon after it’s on the brie.
