Caramel Apple Popcorn

Directions

1. 1
   Pop corn using whatever method you prefer. I like the taste better when using 2 tablespoons oil (popcorn oil if you have it) and 1/2 tsp salt (popcorn salt is great too). Put into large mixing bowl. Preheat oven to 225°F.
2. 2
   Place sugar, molasses, butter and salt into a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil.
3. 3
   Reduce heat to keep a nice steady boil going and continue to cook for five minutes.
4. 4
   Remove from heat and add vanilla and soda and stir until foamy. Pour over popped corn and stir until well coated.
5. 5
   Bake for 90 minutes stirring every 15 minutes.
6. 6
   When done, dump onto baking sheets to cool. Store in an airtight container.
