If you want a truly excellent addition to your seasonal dessert menu put homemade cinnamon cider ice cream on your apple pie or apple cake. Recipe: Beat at least 2 tbs of cinnamon powder into 1/4C boiled cider. Whisk together 3/4C milk, 2C heavy cream, 1tsp vanilla, 3/4C white granulated sugar. Whisk in the cider cinnamon mix and pour into a home ice cream maker. I use a Cuisinart. It takes about 20 minutes. Put the soft ice cream into a container and freeze for a few hours before using to harden it up a bit. It's quite good all by itself too. Play with the amounts to suit your taste.
