Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the crackers face up on a clean work surface and add 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan to each. Wrap each cracker with a piece of bacon, positioning the seam side down so the cracker and cheese are mostly covered. Arrange the bacon-wrapped crackers seam-side down on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is golden and crisp, about 1 hour.
While the crackers bake, mix the jelly with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Microwave on high until warm and loose, about 30 seconds; add more water if needed.
Once the crackers are done, brush each with the jelly mixture, sprinkle with cayenne if desired, and serve right away.
