Ingredients
- 8 cups Air-popped popcorn
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the popcorn using an air-popper or another low-fat popping method. Place the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl, ensuring it's free of any unpopped kernels.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, unsweetened applesauce, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble (about 3-4 minutes).
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Step 4
Immediately pour the toffee mixture over the popcorn, using a spatula to gently toss the popcorn and coat it evenly in the toffee.
Step 5
Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to cool. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes until the toffee hardens slightly.
Step 6
Serve the toffee popcorn immediately or store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days to keep it fresh.
