Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup dried apple slices, chopped
Instructions:
1. In a large pot with a lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover with the lid. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning. Once the popping slows down, remove the pot from the heat and set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Pour the cinnamon mixture over the popped popcorn and stir gently to coat evenly. Add the dried apple slices and mix well to distribute them throughout the popcorn.
4. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread the cinnamon apple popcorn on a lined baking sheet in a single layer.
5. Bake the popcorn for about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning, as the sugar can caramelize quickly.
6. Once the popcorn is crispy and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The popcorn will continue to crisp up as it cools.
7. Transfer the cinnamon apple popcorn to a serving bowl or individual containers for a cozy and delicious snack that everyone will love.
