Add the brisket and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. Preheat the broiler. Remove the brisket from the pot and place in a roasting pan that has been lined with aluminum foil and coated with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the brown sugar, apple juice, and mustard; mix well. Coat the brisket with the brown sugar mixture. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the sugar melts and the mixture is bubbly. Slice across the grain and serve with the sauce from the pan.
