• Dash of cinnamon

2. Mix the brown sugar, butter and cinnamon to form a paste.

Cinnamon Bourbon Caramel Sauce

1. Place the sugar in a pan with 3 to 4 tablespoons of water. Allow this to boil until it turns a rich amber color (232 degrees F on a candy thermometer).
2. Remove from heat and whip in the butter and cream. Season with cinnamon. Stir in the Bourbon. Pour over baked apple and serve.

Notes

This will make way too much sauce for one apple, so you may want to consider making 4 to 6 or use the remainder of the sauce for dipping fresh apple slices.
