Tips
- Add the flavorings after the hot popcorn has been popped. This will help them adhere to the kernels better.
- For a crunchy popcorn, cook the popcorn in the oven. Spread the popcorn on a baking sheet and bake at 200 °F for about 10 minutes. Be sure to check the popcorn regularly so it doesn't burn.
- Add some caramel sauce to the mix for a caramel popcorn. The sweetness of the caramel will perfectly complement the tartness of the apples.
