Rinse, peel and cut the apples into slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan. Add the sugar until slightly caramelized. Add the apple slices and saute for about 3 minutes until light brown.
Heat the remaining butter in another pan and pour in the couscous. Allow to fry for 2-3 minutes until crispy, then turn over in portions and fry on the second side.
