I love apples! But I hate to bite into them as the skins get stuck in between my teeth. I used to cut them in the morning and put lemon juice on them to keep them from turning brown. However, that left a sour taste on the apples. Which is ok sometimes...when you want something sweet yet tart. I found a pin on Pinterest that just seemed too good to be true so I thought, why not...I'll give it a try. And guess what the slices kept from turning brown, even a week later! They were still crisp to bite into too! The trick is soaking them in lemon-lime soda. The lemon lime soda acts like an anti-oxident that keeps them from turning brown. Yes the slices may absorb some of the sugars from the soda, but it makes it 100 times easier when packing a lunch in the morning. Just grab from the fridge and your set.
How to keep apples fresher, longer.
