Cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes. Bring the remaining apple pieces together with the remaining soaked apricots to the boil in the apple juice and simmer at low heat for about 5 minutes. Drain. Remove the soup from the heat and puree it with a blender. Mix the starch with 2 tablespoons of water and thicken the soup slightly. Bring to the boil again briefly.
