How many times have you sliced apples, doused them in lemon juice but they still turn brown an hour later? That used to happen to me, but no more. Not since I discovered a simple tip that keeps my apple (or pear) slices looking just the way they looked when I initially sliced them, even 4-6 hours hours earlier! This method is so easy and simple, you probably won't believe it! The other day I had a women's group meeting at my house. The meeting was called for 9:30 in the morning, so along with coffee and muffins I decided to serve some apple slices and cheddar cheese. I bought a bag of beautiful organic gala apples apples. I left on the peel, made thin slices, put them on a plate, and stored them in the refrigerator for about 3 hours before I served them. However, I did do one other thing when I initially sliced the apples! As I was slicing them, I tossed the apple slices into a large bowl of water to which I had added 1/4 cup of salt. YES- you read that correctly...
