Cinnamon Sauce for Apple Pie

Cinnamon with apple pie is as American as the pie itself. When my mom makes an apple pie or cobbler, this sauce is like the ice cream--you're SUPPOSED to have this with it at my house. My pop can take it or leave it, but if I had to choose the ice cream or this, buh-bye ice cream!! I can eat this with a spoon, straight from the saucepot. Did I mention I'm a sauce freak?? LOL! Sometimes, I make it just to eat and I always have everything on hand. It's also good on vanilla ice cream, but I prefer the pie. I have been known to request this just because. GOTTA LOVE SAUCES of ANY KIND!
