Caramel Sauce:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

Place bread cubes in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, butter, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour evenly over bread. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring the sugar, water and lemon juice to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook until sugar is dissolved and mixture turns a golden amber color. Stir in butter until melted. Add cream. Remove from the heat. Serve with the bread pudding.
