Recipe type: snack, dessert
Serves: 12 cups
Ingredients
  • 10 cups popped popcorn
  • 1 cup Crunchies apples
  • 1 cup pecans
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
  1. Lay parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spread out popped popcorn evenly on top.
  2. Sprinkle whole pecans evenly over the top of the popcorn.
  3. Sprinkle Crunchies apples evenly over the popcorn.
  4. Make cinnamon sugar by combining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with 3 tablespoons of sugar. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the popcorn.
  5. In a microwave safe bowl add the brown sugar, butter, salt and light corn syrup. Microwave for approximately 45 seconds, or just until butter is melted. Stir until combined. Microwave again for two minutes and then stir. Microwave one last time for 90 seconds and stir. Be careful, because the caramel mixture will be extremely hot.
  6. Add in the vanilla and baking soda and quickly combine. Pour evenly over the popcorn mixture and toss with spoons until ingredients are coated with the caramel.
  7. Allow mixture to cool before sprinkling on the chocolate chips (otherwise they melt and get messy).
