Method

Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan until blended and lump-free. Gradually stir in the apple juice.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon slices. Serve warm, over slices of warm gingerbread.
