Print: Cinnamon-Sugar Popcorn

This sweet popcorn recipe makes a lot, so either invite your friends or store it in an airtight container for later. I first tried this when I was visiting my sister in West Virginia. After trying it, I loved it. However, I neglected to ask her for the recipe. Ten years later, I have it, and I still love it! The kids can help make it if you use an air popper (which I did to reduce fat and calories — there's enough in the butter). I used my deep-dish lasagna pan to cook it in the oven. You can use a roasting pan or a large, deep-dish pan.
