Even the best apple can oxidize if you let it sit. You don’t need fancy chemicals—just a citrus bath. Toss your chopped apples in a little lemon or lime juice immediately. The acid stops the browning process in its tracks.
Bonus: That tiny citrus kick amplifies the apple’s flavor instead of masking it. It’s a two-for-one deal that makes you look like a kitchen wizard. Try it once, and you’ll never skip this step again.
