Molasses and apple pie spice add fall flair to oven-baked caramel corn. It tastes like caramel apples (without any of the mess) and is shockingly easy to snack on by the handful (you don’t have to share!).

Ingredients

8 cups
plain popcorn
1/2 cup
packed light brown sugar
4 Tbsp.
unsalted butter
2 Tbsp.
light corn syrup
1 Tbsp.
molasses
1/2 Tbsp.
apple pie spice
1/8 tsp.
baking soda
3/4 tsp.
kosher salt

Directions

1. Step 1Heat oven to 200°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2Place popcorn in large bowl next to stove. In small saucepan, combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, molasses, and apple pie spice. While stirring, bring sugar mixture to a boil. Boil 5 minutes, stirring. Stir in baking soda, then immediately pour over popcorn. Using silicone spatula, fold caramel into popcorn to coat, then spread on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt.
3. Step 3Bake popcorn, stirring every 15 minutes, until caramel is dried and no longer sticky, about 1 hour. Transfer baking sheet to wire rack and let caramel corn cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.
