The juice spritz a lot of folks do, but as mentioned above..
alone by itself, it will not glaze.,, but is flavorful.
Use 100% juice... not the fake stuff and NOT with corn syrup.
For an APPLE GLAZE, I just made this the other night.
It is Steve Raichlen's SPICY APPLE BBQ Sauce/Glaze.
I will put it on the last 20-30 minutes.
Hope this helps.:-D

Steven Raichlen's SPICY APPLE SAUCE/GLAZE
***I changed it up by adding:
Ancho Chili powder 2-1/2 Tbs instead of amount listed
- and - added 1 tsp of a spicy chili powder
This has a GREAT apple flavor and the added spice kicked it up.
1 cup ketchup
2 cups apple juice
1/3 cup molasses
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons chile powder
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Coarse salt (kosher or sea) and freshly ground black pepper
Place the ketchup, apple juice, molasses, vinegar, brown and granulated sugar, chile powder, celery seed, cinnamon, and cloves in a large heavy saucepan and gradually bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking to mix.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce until thick and richly flavored, about 40 minutes, whisking often. Correct the seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste. The sauce should be highly seasoned.
