Recipe - Baked Caramel Apples

One half cup Butter
1 cup Brown sugar
One fourth cup Corn syrup
One half teaspoon Salt
One fourth teaspoon Baking soda
One half teaspoon Vanilla
4 qt Popped popcorn
2/3 cup Nuts; almonds; pecans OR
peanuts

Pop popcorn and remove old maids. Spread popcorn in a large flat pan and
preheat in a 250~ oven. In a saucepan, melt butter and stir in brown sugar,
corn syrup, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil,
and continue to boil without stirring for about 5 minutes (240~). Remove
from heat and add soda and vanilla, stirring until foamy. If nuts are used,
add them now, stirring until heated through and no longer clumped. Pour
syrup mixture over preheated popcorn and stir to coat. Bake for about 30
minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times to evenly distribute the coating. Bake
longer, about 60 minutes, for a more Crackerjackslike taste. Cool, break
up and store airtight.
