Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Popped popcorn
- 1.5 cups Dried apple chips
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Prepare 8 cups of popcorn using either stovetop, air popper, or microwave. Place the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl, making sure to remove any unpopped kernels.
Roughly chop the dried apple chips and add them to the bowl with the popcorn. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Stir in 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir constantly until the mixture is fully combined and begins to bubble gently, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour the butter mixture over the popcorn and apple chips.
Using a spatula or large spoon, gently toss the popcorn and apple chips until evenly coated with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Let the popcorn cool for 5-10 minutes to allow the coating to set slightly.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
