Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Add crackers in one even layer.

Add butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook, stirring often, until well combined and simmering, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Carefully pour butter mixture over the layer of crackers. Using a silicone spatula, toss crackers until well coated in butter mixture.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and golden brown, about 10 minutes, flipping and tossing crackers halfway through cooking time.
Step 5
Meanwhile, stir granulated sugar and remaining 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a small bowl.
Step 6
Remove crackers from the oven and allow to cool, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated. Transfer to a serving bowl.
