Popcorn - Caramel Apple Popcorn

Post by Chowhound »

1/2 cup popcorn kernels
2 tablespoons healthy butter I used Earth Balance
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

To make popcorn, add popcorn kernels to a large brown paper bag and fold over the top twice to properly seal the bag. Microwave the bag for 2 minutes or until the popping starts to totally slow down to a few seconds in between pops. To make caramel, add earth balance and olive oil to small pot and melt together over medium heat. Next, whisk in the brown sugar until it completely dissolves and begins to slightly bubble. Add apple cider and cornstarch and continue whisking. As it thickens, remove from heat and add vanilla extract and cinnamon and set aside. Pour caramel over cooked popcorn and toss together to make sure all popcorn is covered. Let coating set and serve.
