12. Dust with confectioners' sugar and drizzle with some of the caramel sauce.

13. Caramel Sauce:

14. Place sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat (do not stir), swirling the pot occasionally to even out the color, until amber in color, 10 to 12 minutes.

15. While the caramel is cooking, place the heavy cream and cinnamon stick in a small pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

16. Remove from heat and keep warm.

17. When the caramel has reached the desired color, remove the cinnamon stick from the heavy cream and slowly begin adding the warm cream to the caramel and whisk until smooth.

18. Remove from the heat and stir in the brandy.
