CARAMEL SAUCE

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water and lemon juice and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is a deep caramel color and has the consistency of thin syrup, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the cream, return the saucepan to the high heat, and boil until it regains the consistency of a thick syrup, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Drizzle over the apple crisp. Serve in individual glasses topped with whipped cream and drizzle more caramel over the whip cream.
