Add the butter to the hot pan and immediately add the apples. Turn up the heat and fry for 5 minutes until golden, turning once. Add the walnuts for the last minute, remove to a plate and keep warm. Turn off the heat and de-glaze the pan with brandy. Stir in the sugar. Put the chicken on a plate and add the juices to the brandy in the pan. Heat to make a sauce.
