I heard that there is a product that you can by that will slow down the oxidizing process. That is what turns the apples brown. Also I heard that lemon juice works. I know that if you put lemon juice on the bottom of artichokes they will not turn brown. So I would figure the same would hold true. Good luck!

I was using lemon juice. I love sprite so one day I was out of lemon juice while slicing apples, opened a sprite poured on the apples, they did not turn brown and were very sweet for a apple dessert. Try it!
