Butterfly each apricot, cutting almost through each one — or gently peel apart using fingers.
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture inside each apricot.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon for 2 minutes on each side. Do not cook until crispy.
Roll each stuffed apricot in a strip (or half-strip) of bacon and secure with a plain wooden toothpick.
Heat the skillet to medium-low. Gently place the bacon-wrapped apricots in the pan and cook until the bacon is crispy, rotating if needed. Do not overcook.
Serve immediately while the filling is still warm.
