Is there a way to use EC2 as backend for iOS app developed on Monaca?

Question

We created a webapp (all code is on EC2 server) and now, we are trying to create an iOS app using Monaca, which is based on OnsenUI/Cordova.

We would like to use Monaca for the "front-end" and leave EC2 as the "back-end". What would be the best way going about this? Apologize for the loose language, we're novices. Any guidance, suggestions, and etc. are GREATLY APPRECIATED.

You would need to create and expose a webservice endpoint with methods that handle your requests. In my apps I create a WCF service using C# in Visual Studio then I call the exposed methods using jQuery ajax or JavaScript's XMLHttpRequest(). You also need to allow CORS on the server.
