Preheat oven to 230°C. Place the apples in the roasting pan and pour over the juice. Bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes, until the apples have turned a light brown color and are tender when pierced. Remove the roasting pan and mash the apples thoroughly with a fork (leave them in the roasting pan). Reduce oven temperature to 175°C. Cook the apple puree for another 1.5 to 1.5 hours, until the mixture has thickened and turned dark brown. Stir the apple sauce occasionally during cooking. When ready, transfer to a bowl to cool.
