Like I said it takes a while, but it is really easy to do. It will take approximately 1 hour 35 minutes. This makes it a thicker syrup and really condenses the flavor. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer until the apple juice reduces to ½ cup. Measure out 4 cups of Apple Juice or Apple cider in a 4 cup liquid measuring cup. It is super easy but takes a bit of time. The longest part of making these caramel apple popcorn balls is simply to reduce the apple syrup. So after a short trick or treating outing with the kids, we come home and enjoy the Halloween candy and homemade Caramel Apple Popcorn Balls. But we still have to have a family Halloween Movie Night with treats! With my own kids and living in a more suburb town, we found a love for Trick or Treating. I look back on these family movie parties with so much fondness that now as an adult I like to keep this tradition alive. Then the little kids went to bed and another movie would be for the older kids/parents.

The first movie was always for the little kids. Then we had our own Halloween movie party at home with our family. She would get us our favorite Halloween Treats and she’d make us caramel popcorn balls. Instead, my Mom would rent movies for us (you know way back when video rental stores were actually a cool and necessary thing). Not to mention, we were always buried in a few feet of snow. It wasn’t possible to walk from house to house. Since we lived in a rural location growing up, we never went trick or treating for Halloween. One of my favorite memories growing up is when Autumn arrived, my mom would always make caramel popcorn balls. This recipe originally published 9-27-2013, it has been updated for your convenience. Imagine apple infused caramel drizzled over a bed of fluffy white air popped popcorn and formed into mouth watering popcorn balls that you can’t stop eating!Īs an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no cost to you.
