Ingredients
1 tbsp Water
4 tbsp Unsalted butter
-
1 tsp Vanilla extract
¼ cup Light brown sugar
-
1 tsp Ground cinnamon
⅛ tsp Ground nutmeg
-
¼ tsp Salt
-
4 Cups popped Dell Cove Popcorn Kernels
¼ cup Crumbled graham crackers
1 cup Dried apple chips (recipe follows)
2 Apples
-
¼ tsp Ground cinnamon
For the Popcorn:
For the Dried Apple Chips:
Directions
To Make the Apple Chips:
Preheat the oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the apples.
Core them but no need to peel.
Slice them as thinly as you can (about 1/8" is ideal) with a sharp knife or a mandolin.
Place the slices on the baking sheets in a single layer and sprinkle with the ground cinnamon.
Bake for 1 hour, turn each slice over and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes.
Check to see if you like the crispness and continue to bake and check every 15 minutes.
To Make the Popcorn:
Add enough canola or vegetable oil to a lidded pot to coat the bottom and add four popcorn kernels.
Cover the pot and place over medium heat.
When the kernels pop, VERY CAREFULLY (because that oil is blazingly hot and can burn you!) add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels per serving and re-cover the pan.
Shaking the pan constantly to ensure that the kernels don’t burn, while the popcorn pops.
Once the pops are 3 to 5 seconds apart, remove the pot from heat.
Sprinkle with a couple pinches of salt over the hot popcorn and allow to cool.
To Combine:
Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Add the water, vanilla, unsalted butter, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon and salt to a pot.
Cook on medium low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Stir in the popcorn.
Spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes.
Stir thoroughly and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes.
Stir in the crumbled graham crackers and apple chips.
Serve warm and store any leftovers in an airtight container on the counter.
