Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the strips are deep golden brown and crisp, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool completely, then crumble into small pieces.

While the bacon cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.
