Virginia's Cinnamon Sauce (Bread Pudding, Ice Cream, Crepes, Etc image

My favorite recipe from my grandmother, who would make this to go over bread pudding and other desserts. So simple to make, but special enough for a holiday table (or over bread pudding to celebrate the birth of a child in our family!). An absolute family tradition; I haven't seen anything else like it. I've come to find that it's a pretty flexible recipe -- you can add more or less cinnamon, sugar, or even other spices (nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom are all good in addition to the cinnamon). I like mine a bit thicker so I use less water than called for here (2 to 2 1/2 cups), but most in my family make it just like this. Quick, easy, and really yummy.
