I didn't know how to keep apples from turning brown after you slice. My kids normally eat their apples right away but since my oldest goes to school it'll be a little bit before she gets to her apples. So the family I babysit for said if you put the apples in water with a little bit of lemon juice it'll help keep the apples from turning. It was something I didn't know.

@magallon she can eat a whole apple uncut but it wouldn't fit in her lunch box. She is 5 so I make her lunch for her and cut fruit if and when it's need. Yesterday she brought her lunch but had a banana since we didn't have apples in the house. apples don't last long in my house.

@ShyBear88 So it's better for her to peel it off when she gets home..

So do you sprinkle the salt on or is it salt water?

@ShyBear88 I'll have to ask my mom. I believe you wash the apples with some salt water

I haven't tried it yet but the family I babysit for the mom does it all of the time for her little one for lunch. He brings a packed lunch every day so soem times he has apples and I've never seen them go brown and he eats them like he would if I had an apple sliced it right on the spot.

Lemon Juice is the only thing I know of, but it doesn't taste the same

@ShyBear88 I don't like the taste of the lemon juice on the apples takes away from the taste of the apple

apparently it doesn't make them taste any different at all. In some apples it cuts down the sweetness.
