Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Bake for 5-7 minutes until bubbly. While baking, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the hot caramel layer. Let cool for 10 minutes.
