To prepare apple sauce. Peel the apples, cut them into medium-sized cubes, and place them in a pot. Add a cup of apple juice, a tablespoon of cornstarch, half a teaspoon of cinnamon, and maple syrup (can be replaced with sugar). Mix well, put on the heat and bring to a boil. Once the sauce boils, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. When the apples are soft, mash part of them slightly to thicken the sauce (thickness can also be varied with cornstarch and honey).
