First thing of action: bake your tofu. Preheat the oven to 350F.
Let tofu sit on a kitchen towel for 15 minutes, turning once, to absorb moisture.
Cut tofu into 1 inch cubes.
Brush them lightly with vegetable oil (I always use olive oil, but I am certain that this recipe would be best with a peanut oil).
Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes, turning once.In a small pan, heat butter and garlic on low until the butter has just almost melted.
Add the apples, tofu, and salt. Bring heat up to medium, and cook for about 4 minutes. At this point you should add the water and stir every minute for the next 6-7 additional minutes, or until there is little moisture left in the pan. Turn off the heat, and add the brown sugar. Stir to incorporate all of the sugar.
