Cracker Barrel Fried Apples

I grew up eating fried apples and then as an adult I discovered Cracker Barrel and their fried apples. This recipe is from another site and is as close as I have seen to Cracker Barrel. The recipe says you can freeze the cooked apples. I have never done this as there is never any left.
Ingredients:

• 2 cups apple juice, plus
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 4 large golden delicious apples, with peel,cut 1/2 inch wedges
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 4 tablespoons sugar

Directions:

1. In a medium skillet, combine the 2 cups apple juice and sliced apples.
2. Simmer gently until apples are fork tender but not mushy, turning apples frequently.
3. Remove apples from juice using a slotted spoon and place in an oven safe dish.
4. In a blender, combine the remaining 1/2 cup apple juice, cornstarch, apple pie spice and sugar.
5. Blend a few seconds until smooth.
6. Whisk mixture into hot apple juice in skillet and cook, stirring constantly on medium high heat until it bubbles and becomes thickened and smooth.
7. Pour thickened mixture over apples and serve.
8. Please note the cooking time is an approximate.
