In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, sliced apples, and ground cinnamon. (2 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

04
Step
1 mins
Once the apples are cooked to perfection, carefully spoon the warm apple mixture over the ice cream. (1 minute)
05
Step
1 mins
Drizzle each serving with Grand Marnier and Amaretto liqueur, allowing the flavors to meld with the warm apples and cold ice cream. (1 minute)
06
Step
1 mins
Garnish each dessert with a chocolate wafer cookie, inserting it artfully into the ice cream. (1 minute)
07
Step
Serve immediately and enjoy the exquisite combination of warm and cold, sweet and spiced!
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.
