For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg or a star anise to the simmering apples. If you prefer a less boozy dessert, you can reduce the amount of Grand Marnier and Amaretto or substitute a splash of orange extract and almond extract. To elevate the presentation, consider using stemmed dessert glasses instead of bowls. A sprinkle of toasted slivered almonds or chopped pecans would also make a delightful addition. Try a different flavor of ice cream such as caramel or cinnamon.
