How to Make Apple Pie A La Mode Parfaits

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Uncover and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. While the apple mixture cools, crush 1 cup of vanilla wafers (or oatmeal cookies) into coarse crumbs.
  6. Divide the cookie crumbs evenly among 8 glasses or dessert dishes (approximately 2 tablespoons per glass).
  7. Top each with 1/4 cup of the cooled apple mixture and 3 tablespoons of your favorite vanilla ice cream.
  8. Repeat layers once more, ending with a layer of ice cream.
  9. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional) and serve immediately. For best results, chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
