Drizzle half of the caramel over the popcorn and quickly mix.


1 it helps soften so you can coat the popcorn well, and 2, it keeps the popcorn from absorbing the caramel and getting soggy. I knew I wanted to make a caramel popcorn recipe recently, but wanted to make something a little different and hot apple cider was my inspiration. To achieve the concentrated apple flavor, the apple cider is reduced by half then brown sugar, butter and cream are added, then simmered until thickened.Ĭaramel popcorn needs to be baked for 2 reasons. Apple cider is so good for adding natural sweetness to so many sweet and savory dishes. I’ve even used it in this delicious, seasonal cocktail apple sidecar. Last week I used it in the butter glaze for herb roasted Cornish hens that are perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It’s not only my favorite drink, but I also like to use it in recipes. I go through about 1 bottle of apple cider per week at this time of the year. Just pop your favorite popcorn and make your own, easy apple cider caramel with flavors of orange and cinnamon. With fall flavors of hot apple cider, this Apple Cider Caramel popcorn is the most delicious, crunchy, sweet and apple flavored seasonal snack.
