Step 1
Begin by peeling, coring, and dicing the apples into small pieces.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples and 2 cups of water.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the apples are soft.

Stir the mixture over low-medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.

Gradually stir the cornstarch mixture into the apple syrup, stirring continuously to prevent any lumps.
