My apple pie snack mix is a sweet and salty treat full of warm fall flavor. A crunchy combination of cereal, chips, and candy coated in a buttery brown sugar and apple pie spiced mixture. An easy fall snack mix perfect for fall parties, game days, Halloween, or just a movie night at home.

Fall is my favorite time of year and this apple pie snack mix is like fall in a bowl. Cinnamon cereal, salty chips, apple chips, all coated in an apple pie spice glaze. Every handful has the best combination of salty, sweet, cozy fall flavor.

Snack mixes are so fun to make because they are perfect for sharing and easy to customize. This one is great to make any time of year but I especially love to make it when the air starts to cool and the kids go back to school.

Heather’s Recipe Tips

• Use a large bowl to combine all of your ingredients.
• Stir the mixture every 15 minutes. This helps to cook the mix evenly.
• Add the candy after baking. Let the mixture slightly cool before adding in the candy so that it doesn’t melt.
