Spread these sections open.

Cover meat with clear plastic wrap. Pound with a meat mallet to 1/2-inch thickness. Spread stuffing over meat. Roll up from one of the short sides. Tie with string to secure. Brush with some of the remaining 1 tablespoon apple juice.
4.
Place meat on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or meat thermometer registers 170 degrees F, brushing with the remainder of the 1 tablespoon apple juice after 30 minutes.
5.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan stir together the apple juice or cider, the cornstarch, and cinnamon. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Serve with roast. Makes 4 servings.
