Fall is one of our favorite times of the year, and we think there’s nothing that captures the season better than warm, cozy flavors.
Now we taught you how to make pumpkin spice popcorn and maple popcorn in the past, but this maple apple popcorn our co-founder Dave concocted has to be our favorite fall-inspired recipe yet. The best part? It comes together in minutes.
So what are you waiting for? Grab your Popper and let’s get poppin’:
Maple Apple Popcorn Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons coconut oil
-
½ cup popping corn
-
6 tablespoons maple sugar
-
1 cup freeze-dried cinnamon apples
-
Salt, to taste
Maple Apple Popcorn Directions
Step 1: Preheat
Set your stove to medium heat and let your Popper preheat for 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 2: Add Oil
Pour coconut oil into the Popsmith and let it melt.
Step 3: Toss Kernels
Drop 3 kernels into the pot. When the first kernel pops, toss in the rest.
Step 4: Pour Maple Sugar
Add the maple sugar while the kernels start popping, then cover the Popper.
PRO TIP: You want to wait until the absolute last minute to pour the sugar. If you add it before the kernels or before they start popping, there’s a chance your maple apple popcorn will burn.
Step 5: Crank
Turn the Popsmith’s crank constantly to keep the sugar from burning the kernels.
Step 6: Remove
When popping slows to 1 to 2 seconds between pops, take the Popper off the heat and transfer the popcorn to a huge bowl.
Step 7: Sprinkle Freeze-Dried Apples and Nuts
Grab your freeze-dried cinnamon apples and crumble them over the top of the popcorn. You can also include some bigger pieces along with the tinier chunks. Once you’re done, sprinkle the spiced nut mix over the popcorn.
Step 9: Serve
Season with salt to taste and enjoy your maple apple popcorn!
