Caramel Apple Caramel Corn/Caramel Corn

 

Caramel Apple Caramel Corn

• 1 cup unpopped corn kernels or 3 bags unbuttered microwave popcorn, popped with old maids taken out (now don't get mad...maids love to be taken out!)
•  apple rings to taste- cut into pieces
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 (14 oz ) can of sweetened condensed milk

How to Make

1. In an air popper, pop your kernels into a large bowl. Pick out any unpopped kernels.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt. Heat until melted and begins to boil. Once boiling, pour in your can of sweetened condensed milk and stir continuously for 5 minutes, to prevent burning.
3. Remove from heat and pour directly over popcorn and apples, stirring until coated evenly.

This recipe originally calls for baking in a low oven but the result is more like cracker jacks...which is good too but I didn't like it baked with the apple pieces in it.  Loved it without.

 

 

 

My very favorite gooey caramel corn recipe (thanks Kaitlin-who calls me Aunti M.)-(the sugar, extra butter and cream basically make the sweetened condensed milk in the prior recipe.)
