Learn More »Here's how to keep apple and pear slices from browning. Soak them in one of these solutions for 5 minutes. 1. Soak them in a bowl of cold salt water. Not too much salt, or it affects the taste of the fruit. Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of salt per 1 cup of water. The soaked apples will have a slightly salty flavor, but you can remedy that by giving them a quick rinse before eating them. 2. Soak them in a bowl of honey water. Use 2 tablespoons of honey per 1 cup of water. 3. Soak them in a bowl of cold lemon water. This is better than squeezing the lemon juice directly on the fruit, unless you don't mind the fruit tasting really lemony. Mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice per 1 cup of water. 4. Soak them in a bowl of Sprite, 7-Up, or a similar lemon-lime, carbonated soda. (Note: Most soft drinks contain artificial ingredients and high-fructose corn syrup, so this isn't the healthiest option...but it works.) 5. Soak them in a bowl with Fruit-Fresh (or citric acid powder) and cold water. Fruit Fresh is sold in stores with canning supplies. Use 1 teaspoon Fruit Fresh per 1 cup of water. 6. Soak them in a bowl of apple cider and lemon juice.The apple cider enhances the apple flavor while balancing/diluting the lemon juice. Use 1/2 cup apple cider per 1/4 cup lemon juice. 7. Soak them in pineapple juice or a combo of pineapple and lemon juice; use tablespoon lemon juice per cup of pineapple juice. 8. Soak them in plain carbonated water. TO STORE THE SLICES: Store the fruit slices in a ziploc bag. After soaking the fruit slices, drain off the liquid and store them in a Ziploc bag in the fridge. Squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible before sealing it. Apples & pear slices stay fresh and and crispy this way. Their storage life can vary depending on the type and freshness of the fruit. If you're using fruit that is in season and fairly freshly picked, it will stay fresh longer than those that have been picked and stored for a long time. When using freshly picked apples, the slices may be stored for up to a week in the fridge. Use this simple soak method to keep pre-sliced apples and pears in the fridge without browning. I try very hard to reach for fresh fruit for snacking and avoid the temptation of those chips and cookies that shout out my name when I walk by them. For me, I'm much more likely to grab a healthy snack if it's ready-to-eat. Apples are one of those things that I like to have sliced and in the fridge--especially now when they're in season. I eat them plain or sprinkle them with cinnamon. When I need a little protein boost, I dip them in peanut, almond, or walnut butter.
