In a shallow dish, combine all Coating ingredients and mix well.
Dredge each apple slice in the Coating mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
In a large skillet, melt Butter over medium heat.
Add the coated apple slices to the skillet in a single layer. You may need to work in batches.
Fry the apples for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and tender.
While the apples are frying, prepare the Sugar Syrup by combining Brown Sugar and Water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
Once the apples are cooked, pour the Sugar Syrup over them in the skillet.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring gently to coat the apples evenly.
Serve warm.
