This Cinnamon Maple Popcorn Crunch puts me in the mood for Fall when the days are cooler and the leaves are starting to change color. It’s the time of the year when cinnamon and maple flavors get incorporated in various foods and beverages. Today’s guest post recipe is courtesy of Popcorn.org and will make approximately 12 cups of snack mix.
Recipe Variations: You can add-in dried fruits like chopped apples, pineapples, cranberries, raisins, etc. to give it a unique twist.

I love the combination of all the nuts with the popcorn I also like the idea of adding the maple syrup and cinnamon, and I might add some dried apple to it too.
This sounds amazing! Love the idea of adding fuit. Apples would pair so well with the maple cinnamon flavor.
This sounds so good. I want to try this recipe also. Thank you.
I’d eat that! Lots of good flavors and textures in this popcorn recipe.
