  Spray a 4 cup glass measuring cup with non stick cooking spray, then add the accumulated juice, then add 3 tablespoons of butter, place in microwave and microwave on high for at least 10 minutes, till mixture becomes syrupy & thick. If after 10 minutes mixture is not thick and syrupy add an addition 1 to 3 minutes, in 1 minute intervals. Will not get as syrupy id using splenda. Allow to cool. Remove pie crust from fridge to bring to room temperature, while apple juice is cooling.

  NOTE: RAW SUGAR(Turbinado Sugar) can be found in most large grocery stores, I found mine at Wal Mart, in the baking isle. This is a sugar used often by food stylists. I use it for eye appeal but it is optional. Note if you are using splenda Brown there is no need to pack the cup, only pack when using regular brown sugar.
