Apfelwein with DME instead of corn sugar

Has anyone tried making Apfelwein by substituting light DME for the two pounds of corn sugar? How did it turn out?

I'm thinking the procedure would be to boil the two pounds of DME with a gallon of juice. Transfer to the fermentor, top off with the rest of the juice, and pitch the montrechet yeast.

Or should I just skip the boil?

Look in the cider forum, or in the cider recipes.

There has been a lot of talk about it recently.
