Indy Style Apple ‘Sauced’

1 granny smith apple, seeded + cut into ½ cubes

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

pinch sea salt

¼ Sun King Brewery Carmel Apple Tripel

¼ cane sugar

2 scoops good quality vanilla ice cream

½ cup Just Pop In! Indy Style Popcorn

Melt butter over medium-high heat; add apple cubes and salt. Cook, stirring frequently

for 5 minutes, until apple begins to soften.

Add the beer and sugar; cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Let cool for a few minutes and spoon over ice cream.

Top with the popcorn and Enjoy!

Poppin’ Good Butternut Squash Lasagna

2.5-3 lb. butternut squash

3-4 Tablespoons fruity olive oil

3 Tablespoons unsalted butter

3 Tablespoons all purpose flour

3 cups ½ + ½

2 eggs

5 ounces goat cheese

2 cups Just Pop In! Seasonal Stuffing Popcorn

4-6 no-boil lasagna noodles

sea salt + fresh black pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a 11×7 inch baking dish with pan spray.

Wash squash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Cut into quarters, remove

seeds with a spoon and peel with a vegetable peeler.

Cut into ½” cubes and put into a bowl. Pour the olive oil over it and season with salt and

pepper. Spread out on a sheet pan and roast for about 20 minutes, until beginning to

turn golden. Reduce oven temp to 400 degrees.

While the squash is roasting, beat the eggs and ½ + ½ together.

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the

flour to make a roux and cook, stirring frequently for about 3 minutes. While stirring,

stream the egg mixture in until completely incorporated. Taste and season with salt and

pepper.

Pulse the popcorn in a food processor until it resembles breads crumbs.

Pour ½ cup of the sauce into prepared pan (it won’t completely cover the bottom).

Top with a layer of lasagna noodles. Don’t overlap them.

Top with 1/3 of the remaining sauce. Top with ½ of the pop corn.

Put another layer of noodles, then 1/3 sauce. Repeat this layer.

Cover with foil, slightly tented, and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove foil, then top with remaining popcorn. Bake for 10 minutes more.

Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
