In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and water. Stir until the sugars are fully dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt, ensuring even distribution.
Allow the syrup to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning or sticking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Be cautious, as the syrup may bubble up slightly.
Add the unsalted butter and stir until completely melted and incorporated into the syrup.
Allow the syrup to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over pumpkin waffles, and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving.
