I love apples but a problem with my jaw makes it uncomfortable for me to bite into whole apples. So, I slice them. But if I want to take slices with me to work for lunch or a snack, they are brown by the time I want to eat them. I've heard pineapple juice can slow this process. Any other methods?

Use an apple slicer but do not completely separate the apple at the bottom. By leaving a bit of outer skin intact, you can then cover the entire apple in plastic wrap and it will not turn brown in your lunch box.
Keep apples from turning brown by dipping them into a mixture of lemon juice and water, or cover the slices with cold water

Get yourself a juice jug that you aren't using for juice and fill it 3/4 full of cold water. Now add to this about 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Keep this in the frige and replace the water and lemon juice once a week or so.
Now you can slice up apples, even core and peel whole apples and just add them into the jug and they will not turn brown. The acid in the lemon juice keeps the apple fro oxidizing(reacting with air) and turning brown.
In your lunch bag you could always just slice up what you want to take and then put them in a sealer with a bit of lemon juice to keep them going but the storage idea may make it un-necessary to do so as long as they are wrapped in plastic wrap to keep the air off them.

If you put just a little bit of lemon juice over the apple slices, that should prevent them from turning brown.
Also try covering them with ceran wrap or put them in a zip lock bag if you don't eat them all at once.

place the sliced apples in a Ziploc baggie and place them into the freezer the night before you go in. When you are leaving take them out and place them on your desk or something and then they should be fresh because of the freezer it freezes all of the rot in your apples. Therefore it will not turn brown it will stay the same freshness all day however do not let the baggie get air let into it otherwise it will turn brown the longer you have the air exposed to the apples. That is the information that you need to know and i hope that helps and keeps your apples fresh.

To keep apples from turning brown rub Lemon Juice on them. Never heard of using pineapple juice to slow down the process.

Actually any type of citrus juice will work as well as any friut juice that ha sa high acid content. Experiment you may find a new taste sensation that you like. The most important thing is to use something that tastes good.

before u pack them to work, take a few cups of water, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice ( bottle or fresh ), and dip , and keep the apples like that until ur ready to pack them for work. easy as that. sometimes that idea works for other types of fruits and some vegies too.
