How to keep apples from browning?

If you are a beginner at cooking with apples, these tips will help you keep apples from browning. 

One way is to soak them in water with a few drops of lemon juice, apple cider vinegar or pineapple juice. The citric acid from the juice or vinegar will slow the chemical reaction and prevent browning.

Salt water method:

  1. Use 1/4 teaspoon salt to 2 cups of water.
  2. Soak apple slices in the salt water for 10 minutes, then rinse before serving or storing in a ziplock bag.
  3. Squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible before sealing it.

The most important part of keeping apples from browning is to reduce the apple’s exposure to air after it’s been cut.

baking with apples for beginners

When baking with apples, there are a couple of key things to keep in mind. First, you want to make sure you choose the right type of apple. 

For example, Granny Smith apples are great for pies because they hold their shape and don’t turn to mush when cooked.

Second, you want to make sure your apples are properly prepped before you start baking. This means peeling and slicing them into even pieces, so they cook evenly.

Can I use other fruit in these recipes?

Yes! If you don’t have apples on hand or want to mix things up, feel free to use pears, or stone fruits, like apricots, peaches or plums, in these recipes. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time as needed.
