Evident (dictionary): clearly seen or understood; obvious.
A synonym is ‘apparent’.
They all have the same meaning (pretty much).
‘She ate the biscuits with evident enjoyment’
The word ‘evident’ in the sentence above could be replaced by ‘obvious’ or ‘apparent’.
‘She ate the biscuits with obvious enjoyment’
‘She ate the biscuits with apparent enjoyment’

Be careful with apparent; it has more than one use.
Definition 2: seeming real or true, but not necessarily so.
‘His apparent lack of concern’.
