Slicing An Apple So It Won’t Brown
My daughters love apples with peanut butter for lunch – it is one of the few protein sources I can get my ultra picky 9 year to eat at lunch time – but how do you keep the apple slices from getting brown?
Check out this technique:
Using an Apple Corer and Divider, cut down 7/8 of the way through the apple. Remove the slicer and reform the apple so it looks “whole” again. Pack in a sealed baggie or container. When your child opens it up at lunch, the apple will still appear fresh and will not have browned.

Ok, that is so simply obvious that I can’t believe that I haven’t thought of it before. Thanks for the eye opener – my kids will love you for it!
Neena – I felt the same way when I figured it out. My kids love sharing their apple trick with their friends, too.
