After you cut up an apple, how do you stop it from browning?

Question

I will be serving a class of 20 students a snack treat during their lunch time. So, I need the apples to look freshly cut.

Answer 1

Fill a bowl with water and add the juice of 1/2 a lemon. After you cut up the apples, add them to the water-lemon solution. This will stop the oxidation process, which makes the apples turn brown. This works for bananas, pears, and any other fruit that turns brown after a while after cutting it.

Answer 2

Take lemon juice and spritz it over the apple and it slows down the browning, but there is no way to completely eliminate the browning process while still maintaining the edibility of the apple.

Answer 3

Put lemon juice on it. If you are not going to eat it right away put the two halves back together so that no air can reach the cut parts. Exposure to air causes the cut apple to begin turning brown.

Answer 4

Lemon juice; spritz it or rub a cut lemon on the fruit of the apple. Works for bananas too.

Answer 5

Spritz them with lemon juice, it really works. Be careful though, too much will have a negative affect on the taste of the apples.

Answer 6

Lemon juice or Fruit Fresh

Answer 7

Spritz with lemon juice or sprinkle with cinnamon to hide the brown and add flavor at the same time.

Answer 8

Lemon Juice!!!

Answer 9

Add some salt in a bowl of water, use that water for cleaning the apple (after skinned and divided, of course).

Answer 10

You eat it real fast.
Or put it in water with a cap full of lemon juice.
