What happens here

For apple slices intended for fresh consumption or temporary storage before dehydration, prevent browning by coating them in a citric acid solution. Place the sliced apples in a small food storage container. Add approximately one teaspoon of citric acid (or lemon juice/grapefruit juice) to the container. Close the lid and gently shake the container to ensure all apple slices are evenly coated. This method helps maintain the apple's fresh color.

Goal: Coat fresh apple slices with citric acid or lemon juice in a container to prevent browning before refrigeration.

brown so I like to prepare my apple slices just like so and you just basically break them apart and put them in your little food storage container and very very simply here this will keep the apples from changing colors because apples automatically will start turning brown pretty much immediately after you cut them up so we want to go ahead and fix these guys up and just take the teaspoon of citric acid or you can just use a teaspoon of lemon juice or you can just take some grapefruit and squish in there or a limit basically do that fill the container about 3/4 of the way full just like we're doing here slice up kind of spread them out a little bit then take your little food container and shake them up a little bit and get that lemon juice on those apples and you can use two teaspoons if you want to make some good and keeps them from turning brown folks if you enjoy this kind of
