Bring to a boil, swirling the pan over the heat to dissolve the sugar - don't stir the mixture. Cover the pan tightly and boil for 4-5 minutes, until the bubbles are thick and large. Uncover and continue boiling, swirling the pan constantly in a circular motion. Once the color begins to darken, continue to cook for approximately 1 minute longer, until light brown in color. Remove from the heat and keep swirling the pan, as the caramel will continue to darken from the heat in the pan. Add the cinnamon and swirl to mix it into the caramel. Pour the caramel into a 2-quart (2-1) round glass baking dish that is approximately 8-9 inches (20-23 cm) wide at the top, turning to coat the bottom and halfway up the sides with whe caramel.
