Growing up in Northern New York, I always knew it was Fall when my mom would make caramel corn and I could find apple cider in the fridge. It’s sweet, gooey, chewy and always reminds me of Fall. You can mix in salty peanuts, almonds, chocolate chips, or just make it plain like I did. Bring it to your next tailgate, and your friends will be begging for the recipe!
