How to Make Cinnamon Apple Popcorn
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Peel and slice 2 medium apples (about 2 cups sliced). Place them in a large, shallow baking pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until apples are softened but not mushy.
- Remove pan from oven. Add 6 cups popped popcorn, 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, and 1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional). Stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the popcorn mixture, stirring gently to coat everything thoroughly.
- Bake for another 20-25 minutes, stirring every 5-7 minutes, until the popcorn is lightly browned and the apples are caramelized. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on wax paper.
- Once completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
